So sad to read this news. Huge loss. Bob is leaving a legacy for all those who are enjoying of the western performance industry today. He’ll be greatly missed.

In my first trip to USA back in 2014 I rented a car and drove straight to Temecula CA to meet my all time horse hero Bob Avila. Without knowing me, he was extremely kind and received me in he’s barn and years later when living in Scottsdale I got to ride and work cows with him very often at SJ Ranch where he was coaching for Jayne Vatcher and others in the barn where I was boarding and starting up my bussiness. To me Bob was a living legend, no only the world greatest horseman but also also an innovator and promoter of western sports. A great communicator, great coach and a nice soul that was willing to help people like me when I had nothing and no one knew me, yet Bob, being a living legend was humble and kind and always shared his knowledge with younger trainers like me that couldn’t afford coaching and he was expecting nothing in return. I’ll be forever thankful of this man who taught me that stars are in this world to help guide those who are finding their way. Thanks Bob for so much.
My sincere condolences to his wife Danna and his family.

In memory of Bob Avila, whose life's work, leadership, teachings, vision, and friendship left our world a better place. When I went out on my own and started my own training program in Temecula, Bob was my biggest supporter. He was straightforward, honest and gracious, offering professional help in setting up my business and developing outstanding relationships with all of the right people and companies. Throughout my career, my friendship with Bob remained constant; whenever I faced a problem, he was there to help me solve it. Bob played a significant leadership role, not just for me but for the entire western performance horse community.

When Bob showed up in Oklahoma City in the early 90's with his cow horse bred Futurity horses, he forever changed the Reining industry. His horses were so stylish, broke, soft and willing, and had tremendous body control, and they won often times in multiple arenas. I still remember the first time I met him in person– it was right after the 1st go of the 1993 Futurity when he was showing Smartin Off (Smart Little Lena x Miss Cal Sen); I introduced myself and told him "I want to be in your barn" (and work for you). It was his style that not only influenced, it set "the standard" in the performance industry.

Bob was a true visionary and leader at a young age, known as "The Greatest Horseman" because he wasn't afraid to speak his mind and always put his words into action, he worked hard and expected excellence from his friends and colleagues. His ability to develop horses into champions and help people be their best was part of his everyday life.

He had a remarkable ability to recognize greatness in people and horses and adapt to bring out the best in them. Bob's winners circle and professionalism went far beyond the training and show arenas– Bob and his team brought a new level of "Horsemanship, Integrity and Values" into homes and barns thoughout the world– Ride With Bob Magazine, Heroes & Friends Videos & Symposiums, How the West Was Won ad campaigns, In the Mind of a Champion Video Series, just to mention a few that have all had tremendous impact early on.

I am incredibly fortunate to have had his influence and friendship for so many years. The lessons I learned from Bob will stay with me forever. Rest in peace, my friend and mentor. Your legacy as "The Greatest Horseman" will always be remembered.

I had an exceptional weekend at the Fox Valley Saddle Association in IL, where I had the privilege of working with Peet Equestrian, outstanding coaches and generous sponsors. They provided me with the opportunity to ride the magnificent mare, 2024 Novice A Eastern Zone Champion 'Daisy’s Amber', resulting in overall champion on Saturday and 1st place in dressage on Sunday. I extend my sincerest gratitude to this exceptional working equitation team for their guidance, support, and accommodations throughout my journey towards USAWE Judges and Coach accreditation. Special appreciation goes to Julie Alonzo for making this experience possible and organizing another outstanding show, affording me the chance to collaborate with such a remarkable team!
