GMPH is pretty proud of Fallon Lacina for showing Suen and Very Suen for the first time this weekend at Bosque in the 75K Amateur! We’re thankful to Fallon and her mom, Codie, for bringing Maisie to our barn. This trio is working really hard, and we’re excited to see what both Fallon and Codie do in the show pen.

We’re so proud of Christian Conrad and Lil Metal Rebel making their American debut in the historic Watt Arena at the NCHA International Circuit Finals last week.

With just one year of showing experience in Europe, Christian courageously stepped onto a horse he had never ridden before and walked into the herd in the 2K Limit Rider in Fort Worth.

At GMPH, we know this is just the beginning for Christian and his team. Huge thanks to for introducing us to Christian and his family!

Keep it up Christian!

(Bucket says thank you, thank you for the German Horse Muffins. He hopes you come back soon).

Stylarey picked up another check this past weekend in the Open for owner Michelle LeMaster! Not a bad way to start our Easter weekend. 🙏🏻

Thankful for the opportunity to do what we love each and every day.

Happy birthday to our fearless leader, G. 🇮🇹

From a kid in a small town in southern Italy who didn’t grow up with horses, to a professional cutting horse trainer in the cutting capital of the world—your friends and family are endlessly proud of you.

Few will ever truly understand the sacrifice it took to come to America: leaving your family thousands of miles away, learning a new language and culture, and betting everything on a deep, undeniable love for the horse.

This is only the beginning of GMPH—and kicking off your birthday week with a 76 in the Open felt pretty fitting. 🐎🔥

With love,

your people.

As we wrap up our very first year as a program, we’re filled with gratitude for everyone who helped make it possible. To our incredible clients, sponsors, friends, and supporters — thank you for trusting us, believing in the vision, and being part of this journey from the beginning.

Most of all, we are thankful for the horses — the true foundation of this program. Their heart, talent, and honesty in the show pen inspire us every day, and we’re honored to care for them, train them, and chase big goals alongside them.

This first year brought growth, lessons, hard work, and milestones we’ll never forget, and we’re so excited for what’s ahead. Thank you for being part of the start of something special.

Wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.
