Amaris Brielle Rothfleisch is the 14 year-old daughter of Ryan Rothfleisch and Nicole Reeves Rothfleisch of Brawley, and the 5th generation of their Imperial Valley farming families.  This outgoing, brown-eyed brunette is a Freshman who is homeschooled by her mom, who is also her riding buddy.

Amaris is a member of the Imperial Valley Team Penning Association, the American Quarter Horse Association, and in addition to penning and sorting cattle she enjoys barrel racing, trail riding, and taking cute selfies with her beloved horses, Promise and Shorty.

Amaris plays a variety of musical instruments, is part of the new Imperial Valley Youth Orchestra, and has participated in community theater musical productions.  She loves spreading her wings to travel the world, with a special place in her heart for Haiti, where she works and plays with kids at an orphanage; but her favorite place is in the saddle, right here at Cattle Call arena.

While Amaris loves the glitz and glamour of a rodeo queen, she doesn’t shy away from getting dirty working hard or dressing in camo to go hunting and fishing with her dad.

Her future plans include attending college somewhere she can take her horses as well as combine her interests in agriculture, music and theater, and service to make the world a better place.

Amaris is thrilled to have the opportunity to follow in her mom and aunt’s footsteps and compete to be a part of the Cattle Call royalty.
