​
The brand you see on our horses, cattle, and across our marketing was designed right here at home—by Gracie, Pedro, and Mike (aka Bop).
Because none of what we do would be possible without the love and support of our families, we wanted our brand to reflect that. The T stands for Torres, the L for Lester, and the C represents the coming together of both families to create something special—Cavvietta.
We’re beyond grateful for our families and everything they do behind the scenes to help make this dream a reality.
Why the name Cavvietta?
The word Cavvietta is a lesser used term that was derived from the Spanish word Caballada.
In ranching, a “cavvy” refers to a herd of saddle-broke horses on an outfit. One day, while doing barn chores and listening to cowboy poet Waddie Mitchell, we heard him use the word “cavvietta” in place of “cavvy” in a poem. It struck a chord with us—and it stuck. We’ve loved it ever since!
Meet the Instructors
Pedro Torres
Pedro has been riding since before he could walk and is a third generation horseman. This charro is passionate about class and tradition and this shows when he dons his sombrero to compete in la charreada. Pedro has done anything from wrangling in Wyoming, picking up at local rodeos, and catching loose cows for cattlemen across the state. On rainy days, you'll find him making quality leather products or shoeing horses.
Gracie Torres
Gracie is a first generation cowgirl who has been riding since she was three. She ran barrels in the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association with the NCSU rodeo team that she helped start, then went on to find a love of mounted shooting, cutting, and ranch roping. She has a passion for teaching lessons and practicing traditional vaquero horsemanship with her husband, Pedro. Gracie fell in love with Pedro's horse at a rodeo.
