In 2009 I accepted a training and management position for a new ranch starting in California, Pira’s Cows and Horses. When we started there were only a few horses at the ranch, and much of my time as well as my wife Anna’s time, was spent building the physical facilities, organizing the ranch structure, and training horses. Slowly through my successes at shows, and at clinics I put on, my clientele grew. My clients after a short time started trusting and supporting me. We had over twenty-five Reining and Cow horses in training along with the ranch horses at Pira’s Cows and Horses. This venture has been a dream come true for myself, my wife Anna, our daughter Aurora and our son Riccardo Giorgio. In October 2016 we moved to Arizona for work along with Andrea Fappani; in January 2019 I finally realized my dream to train cow horses all day long in a gorgeous facility, Bandalero Ranch! (Source)
