In this episode, we talk to Cesar De La Cruz, nine-time NFR Qualifier Heeler. He has owned and ridden some of the best heel horses that the sport has ever seen. We also discuss the influence his family's military background has had on his life and career and how the people he surrounded himself with early on made a large impact.

When Charly made his first NFR, he knew he had to make it entertaining and memorable because he didn't know if he would ever return. While on the road, he finds out that he has a daughter and decides to meet her and be the dad he knew he needed to be. After being on the road and going through many struggles in life, he meets Jackie. He and Jackie get married and begin a family of their own while Jackie jumps in to help raise his daughter. Charly's dad impacted his life tremendously, and he talks about their relationship through his life riding and how his death affected him.

In this episode I talk about the pros and cons of the two different styles of how you can score your horse, and the effect that your start can have on the run.
