Bruno took several promising young horses to HITS Thermal this February.


Rancho Corazon’s Daphne RC has found much success at her first show, jumping clear in the 5-year-old jumpers, where she earned a blue ribbon. She also took home the blue in the 5-year-old Qualifier Week 4. Contento, Rancho Corazon’s 2010 stallion by Connor, impressed us in his first show, jumping clear in the 1.10m and 1.20m classes to earn a 5th and a 3rd place ribbon respectively. In the 6-year-old Qualifier, he jumped a difficult technical course and took home the 4th place ribbon. You can find videos of both of these great young prospects on their pages.

Guy McElvain of Rancho Corazon and Rio De Janeiro jumped clear in the Low Amateur Owner Jumper Classic and placed 8th – you can check out their video here: https://youtu.be/ObAfF5KTZbA

Bruno’s own Enzo Ferrari also showed very well in Thermal. He earned a 2nd place ribbon and a 5th in the 7-year-old jumpers. Showing in the 7-year-old Classics, he took home a 3rd and a 5th place ribbon. Most recently, he handled a difficult Qualifier course and earned the 3rd place ribbon.

Bruno is excited to see where all of these young horses will go and is impressed with their progress. Check back for more updates from California!

THERMAL WEEK V UPDATES!

SEp - OCT 2015

September was a busy month at Rancho Corazon.


September was a busy month at Rancho Corazon. Much like at the start of a new school year, Bruno welcomed a new class of 4-year-old prospects into the training barn. These five girls are nothing short of spectacular prospects and are great examples of the horses being produced by Rancho Corazon’s breeding program. In less than eight weeks, Bruno has transformed them from pasture ornaments to show horses, and we look forward to seeing them in the ring in 2016.

September also saw the happy departure of Cash RC, one of the 6-year-old geldings Bruno was able to develop over the summer. We congratulate Leigh Ann Hella of Albuquerque, NM, and her trainers Jose Luis & Marybeth Perez Soto of Tonaya Farm, on the purchase of 6-year-old Cash RC. Although we all are sad to see Cash move on, he surely is destined for great things with his new team.

Bruno spent the first two weeks of October in California, showing at the Del Mar International Welcome and World Cup Weeks. He brought three Rancho Corazon youngsters with whom he has been working since the summer — Catsina RC, Candescere RC and Cypre’s RC. All three showed with confidence, putting in clear rounds and demonstrating their skills for the future. Most exciting, however, was the performance of Bruno’s own horse, Enzo Ferrari. The 6-year-old gelding by Numero Uno laid down three clear rounds in the 1.30m jumpers, no small feat given the size and technicality of the courses. 

With such a talented group of horses with whom to work, Bruno is looking forward to spending the remainder of the fall at the ranch.


June-August 2015

BDN Sport Horses relocated to Rancho Corazon in Lemitar, New Mexico.


In early June, BDN Sport Horses relocated to Rancho Corazon in Lemitar, New Mexico. A leading breeder of Holsteiners in the U.S., Rancho Corazon invited Bruno to prepare a crop of their young horses for the Santa Fe Summer Series of horse shows. With inimitable skill and style, Bruno brought nine 5- and 6-year-olds from the field to the show ring in a few short weeks. By the close of the series, the horses were all jumping clear rounds and are now ready for the next phase of their careers; contact Bruno for more information.

In late June, Bruno’s own horse, Enzo Ferrari, joined him in New Mexico. Enzo, a 6-year-old by Numero Uno, had a strong showing in Santa Fe, with Top 3 finishes in six out of seven classes of 6-Year-Old Young Jumpers. This impeccably bred gelding is destined for big things and is offered for sale by Bruno.

Despite his busy show schedule, Bruno found time to exercise his coaching skills by helping several of Rancho Corazon’s friends with their horses too. Eve and John Price were most appreciative to have Bruno in the saddle and by the rail with their horses, Zambesi RC and La Coeur.

Bruno is back at the farm in Lemitar, making plans for the the fall. Stay tuned for updates!
