New resident trainer at Arizona, Rancho Sonado
December 2014
We are happy to welcome Camren "Cami" Gerner as the new resident trainer at Arizona Rancho Sonado.
Camren Gerner with Nan Walden and Stars and Stripes SF
Cami comes to us with a wonderful background in equine training, care, showing and business. She is a graduate of the Al Marah equine program, and went on to finish her B.S. degree at U of AZ in Ag Economics and Business with a concentration in Animal Sciences. In addition to rising to a senior staffer at Al Marah, Cami worked for several well-known trainers, judges, and breeding programs, including Bill Melendez, North Arabians and Nelson Farms. She also worked in the UA Collegiate Cattle Growers Association program, so she knows her way around cattle as well as horses. She particularly enjoys starting young horses.
Given that we are expecting four foals this spring, we are grateful for her foaling out experience too. Cami is living in house #3 on the Ranch in Amado, AZ and her cell number is 520 647-4494. Email
She is available for training and lessons for boarders. We will be showing next at the Tucson Charity Show January 10-11 at Pima Fairgrounds, and the Scottsdale Arabian Show February 12-22 at Westworld. Please join “Deuce” and all of us in welcoming her as a special Christmas present to the Ranch!

Also, we welcome back Cheyenne Hudecek, our fabulous local 4-H high school student who interned with us last summer. Cheyenne will be helping out most days after school. In her spare time she is training her own horse and raising a show pig named Miranda Hambert!
