Western
Re-Ride Market, (WRM), is a web-based
consignment sale site, exclusively for people
who want to buy and sell western items. In
addition, WRM is introducing “Cowboy Certified”,
an opportunity for those who wish to purchase
authentic items and memorabilia from rodeo and
western show competitors, as well as from
real working ranch cowboys and cowgirls.
If any of our customers cannot find a particular
item or piece of rodeo memorabilia, we encourage
them to contact us directly and request that we
obtain it for them. We have the qualifications
and connections to find almost anything rodeo or
ranch-related!
Western Re-Ride Market is a
subsidiary of Cowboy Cuz Enterprises; owned and
operated by Rex and Eileen Phillips.
Cowboy Cuz Enterprises was
created out of necessity. A necessity to
preserve a way of life first for our family,
then for others like us. Cowboy Cuz Enterprises
provides education, products and services,
entertainment, interaction, and communication
for cowboys, as well as those who yearn to be
cowboy and have a desire to be associated with
American traditions.

Rex and Eileen are both
fourth-generation commercial cattle ranchers.
They have been married
21
years, and have 40+ years combined experience
within the Agricultural Industry. In 2008, they
moved their registered Quarter Horses, along
with a herd of Hereford cattle, from a ranch in
south-central Montana to Henryetta, Oklahoma.
Rex Phillips broke his first colt
to ride at age nine. He has spent his life
working cattle and rodeo livestock on vast
amounts of land controlled by his family; as
well as competing in rodeo, primarily
rough-stock (bareback, saddle bronc and bull
riding). Rex has won either a national or
reserve national championship as both an
All-Around Cowboy as well as all three
rough-stock events as a member of the National
High School Rodeo Assoc and the Intercollegiate
Rodeo Assoc. His professional rodeo career
helped him to support his family for over
fifteen years, while making nearly every final
performance at every major PRCA rodeo in North
America at one time or another from 1985-2000,
including rodeos like Salinas, Pendleton, Reno,
Tucson, Houston, Denver, Fort Worth, Calgary,
etc. He continues to work in the ranching and
rodeo industry to this day, helping his son
Billy Quade and daughter Sydnee to continue the
traditions of horse training, rodeo competition
and daily ranch life. Rex’s favorite things are
family, friends, gathering and sorting livestock
with his own raised and trained AQHA horses, and
helping folks with all their ranching needs.
Eileen Phillips was born and
raised on a commercial cattle ranch, located on
the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana. Her
grandfather was once a small stock contractor
for rodeos all over Montana, provided horses for
early western movies such as “Shane”, and even
worked as a stunt man in one of John Wayne’s
first westerns. Both her mother and father come
from ranching families, settling areas in both
Wyoming and Eastern Montana. Her father competed
as a saddle
bronc rider
when she was very young. Eileen picked up rodeo
as a hobby during her college years, and
continues to dabble in barrel racing.
Eileen currently serves as a Board of Director
for Western Wishes, an organization that grants
wishes to children faced with adversity who love
the western way of life. She has a strong background in promotions and
marketing and graduated with an Associate's
Degree from Western Montana College in Dillon,
MT. In 2005, she was asked to join the Montana
Silversmiths team as their National Event
Coordinator, and traveled to many rodeo, AQHA
and other western events, helping to market and
promote buckle programs, branded product and services for the
company. Currently, her first loves are her
kids, her Hereford cows, and her husband - in
that order. (kidding!) She
enjoys
learning something new about ranching and horses
every day, and loves working side-by-side with
Rex – now that
he’s
not on the road all of the time.
