Latin Fiesta Night at Sedro-Woolley Rodeo Grounds

---

Felix, originally from Walla Walla, WA, had quickly become a specialty act sensation.  A third generation dancing horse trainer, Felix has easily become a crowd favorite.

 My  name Felix Santana and I am 3rd generation horseman coming from a  ranching family in Jalisco Mexico. I always loved the connection between  the horse and human but was away from the horses.  After moving to the  US at a very young age. It was until I was  in my late teens when I  decided to get back into it and started taking lessons from my uncles  Miguel Andrade and Fermin Andrade  in Perris California on the “High  school” style of training (Alta escuela) which got my career started,  there after I started getting direct mentorship from Francisco Zamora  who was also a PRCA act in his earlier years, as well as Oscar Borjas in  Spain still to this day which I feel has taken my horsemanship and  skill to the next level. The specialty act that I showcase is based on  Spanish style riding and natural horse foot work that is used for bull  fighting and doma vaquera, along with showcasing my horse’s talent and  athletic ability that also includes tricks. My Andalusian stallion  “Romano” and I have been together for 5 years now, and he loves  to  perform along side with me, showing his trust in me being that he was  untrainable and neglected in his early years. Together we have been  performing all over the country bringing a new style of act and  horsemanship to the pro rodeo industry and are very excited of what the  future holds
