Entrust your horse to the people who take it to competitions
Giacomo Caruso and Giovanni Campanaro have been training western horses for twenty years, with the ranch’s herd and two arenas available every day.
What we do
Starting and bringing on young horses
From first saddling to first work with cattle. They learned the method from Sergio Silvera and apply it to dozens of young horses a year.
Competition training
Team Penning, Ranch Sorting and Cow Horse. The horse is trained on the ranch’s herd by people who compete on the same circuit you’ll take it to.
Retraining
Horses that have had inadequate training or the wrong work. We start again from the basics, taking the time it needs.
Tune-ups and maintenance
Your horse stays at livery at the ranch and is worked by our staff, lunged or ridden, as often as we agree.
The right horse, even from the USA
We have always offered our members the best Quarter Horses. With a network of contacts in Italy and directly in the United States, we find the horse suited to the abilities and goals of whoever will ride it, and we handle the purchase and import.
All horses come with papers and pedigree and are examined by the vets we work with. They are tried out at the ranch and you can have your own vet examine them before deciding. Some horses are already here, imported by us.
