Horses
The horses are the reason we do it. Without them, this dream wouldn’t be possible.
Thankful for all the great ones in the barn and the great ones who came before them. Each horse is a special part of the journey.

Houston Rodeo Cutting
“I was always in love with horses and honestly never could afford one. Then as soon as I got my first Quarter horse I decided I can do this. I love this. It’s my dream.”
Gildo shared a bit of his journey this morning on FOX 26 Houston talking about growing up in a small town in Italy, where cutting didn’t exist, and pursuing his dream of becoming a cutter in the U.S. at RODEOHOUSTON.
Shoutout EQUICOR LLC for the support!
Grateful for partners who help us keep our horses feeling and performing their best! Gildo and the team trust Purina Horse Feed to provide top-tier nutrition for both our seasoned show horses and the young ones coming up in the program.
From his days training in Europe to building a program in Texas, G has always relied on Purina to fuel success in and out of the arena. The right nutrition is everything, and we’re proud to have Purina in the barn! #PurinaHorseFeed #FueledByPurina #feedgreatness
It takes a village, and we have a great one. Cutting horse programs thrive because of the dedication of so many—often the ones you don’t always see. Behind every run, there’s a team working long hours, doing the hard work that makes it all possible. A huge thank you to Giada and Bryan for keeping everything from the barn to the horses at their best. 🎥 - all the great shots captured by @katiegrassi, who we’re incredibly grateful to have on team 🇮🇹 too.
Stylarey picked up checks for both Gildo and owner Michelle LeMaster this week at Bosque. Michelle won the Unlimited Amateur with a big 75 and Gildo picked up a check in the 25K Ltd Novice horse with a 73. 👊🏻Blessed to have this awesome mare in the barn.
Michelle LeMaster & Stylarey marked a big 75 to win the Unlimited Amateur yesterday at Bosque! The girl power is unmatched.

“You absolutely have to have passion for the sport of cutting—every aspect of it is tough. From the horses to the shows to the business side, it’s all a challenge with long hours every single day.
It’s demanding for anyone, but when Gildo came to this country from Italy to pursue his love of horses not that many years ago, he barely spoke the language. That’s a whole other level of dedication, and I’m honored to be a client in his barn.” - Courtenay DeHoff
