Armando Costa Neto has already accomplished many major goals as a Non pro including being the only Non Professional in NCHA History to win the coveted NCHA Triple Crown aboard the great mare Watch Me Whip. He recently decided to turn "Pro" and become a Professional Cutting Horse Trainer to be able to expand his training operation at the "Fazenda Barrinha" Ranch located in Whitt, Texas and open his doors to the Public.

Armando is accepting horses of all ages and levels and is looking forward to working with his clients on a "one on one" level to share his knowledge.
