Bio:

Raised on a cattle ranch in Queensland, Australia, Andrew Coates began his career working for some of the best cutting horse trainers in Australia. In 1995, he made the move to the U.S. where he worked for Luke Bakey and Gary Gonsalves. His NCHA professional career began when NFL Hall of Famer, Joe Montana, hired Andrew to train and manage his cutting horse program and, in 2003, he began accepting outside clients.

Since that time, he has earned 20 major aged event champion and reserve champion titles along with taking horses to finalist positions in over 50 major events, including the NCHA Futurity and Super Stakes. His lifetime NCHA earnings are now over $1,000,000. He and his wife, Nicole, and their two children operate Southern Cross Ranch in Esparto, CA where they continue to train and compete.
