Andy Holcomb

For the past 20 years, Andy has been training horses in Aromas, California, with a specialty in rope horses. Together with his wife, Fallon, he builds and sells exceptional rope horses and competes with them at top futurities across the country, where Andy has earned over $1 million. The couple also shares a passion for team roping.

Andy ropes on the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) circuit and travels the United States to compete in the sport's most prestigious rope horse futurities.

The program at Andy and Fallon's Aromas ranch starts young horses on cattle with plenty of lead steering, then progresses them to team roping out of the box. A team of knowledgeable young trainers works alongside Andy, and their skill and dedication help make the whole system succeed.

Proven at the Sport's Biggest Events

Andy's results reflect a program built on horses that perform when the money is on the line. In 2024, he won the first-ever Old West Futurity heeling title, a landmark victory in one of the industry's newest premier events. He has since remained a fixture at the top of the field, earning the high call in the 2026 Old West 4-&-Under Heading finals with a 678.76 aboard Shes A Bossy Rebel while holding a strong position on Corona Makes Me Purr in the hunt for the event's million-dollar bonus.

A Champion Across Associations

Andy's success extends across the sport's leading organizations. He captured the ARHFA World Championship in Open Heading, earning $20,000 aboard the 6-year-old gray Blue Berry Please, and added a fourth-place finish and another $10,000 on 5-year-old stallion Trap This Cat. He also won the Royal Crown 6-&-Under Heeling championship aboard the mare Pale Liberty, showing his ability to bring horses along and win with them at every age division.

Big Paydays in the Roping Arena

Andy is as dangerous with a rope in his hand as he is in the saddle of a futurity horse. He split $26,000 in the #15 at the Finale in Las Vegas, turning steers for Craig Branham, and heeled for Luke Brown to share $25,976 at the Capitalist. Closer to home, he has placed in a round at the Salinas Rodeo and earned a spot at the California Circuit Finals Rodeo, reflecting a competitive career that spans from California's circuit to the national stage.

Respected by the Best in the Business

Andy's reputation among his peers speaks to the quality of his work. Kaleb Driggers, one of the sport's most accomplished ropers, has praised Andy's ability to dress up a horse as "second to none." It's a fitting tribute to a trainer whose horses consistently show polished, finished, and ready to win, and whose program continues to shape the next generation of rope horses.
