We don’t say it enough, but we’re incredibly grateful for our friends at Purina Horse for their support, friendship, and belief in our program.

From Europe to Texas, Gildo has trusted Purina his entire career because quality and consistency matter.

And if you need any more proof… just swipe to that last photo. Purina definitely keeps them looking pretty. 😉🐴

Finally, shoutout to Shorty’s Caboy Hattery for keeping us in the finest cowboys hats.

Our new friend Dana came all the way from Kuwait to GMPH to fulfill her dream of riding a cutting horse. She absolutely crushed it!

She made some serious moves on the flag, and there was a whole lot of laughing each stop she hit.

Moments like these are exactly why we do what we do.

We do this for the love of the horse and we are really working hard to make the sport of cutting accessible to people from all walks of life. Gildo knows firsthand how tough it can be to come from another country and find an opportunity to get into this sport.

A huge thank you to our friend Kirstie Marie Photography 🦄 for sharing our lesson post—that’s how Dana found us!

If you’ve ever dreamed of trying cutting, our gate is open. We’d love to help you experience it for yourself.

The next generation is gearing up to make some serious noise in the show pen. GMPH is pretty proud of our three-year-olds.

This stallion by Reyzin The Cash is just getting warmed up. 😮‍💨

Love horses and always wanted to try cutting? Been years since you’ve been on a horse? Just want to step out of your comfort zone and try something incredible?

Come take a lesson! We’ll put you on a seasoned, money-earning show horse—not an old lesson horse. We believe learning is a lot more fun when you’re behind the wheel of a Ferrari instead of a golf cart.

Congrats on reaching $100K in Lifetime Earnings, G!

Nearly two decades ago, G spent $200 on three VHS tapes, a halter, and a flag featuring Pat Parelli. The tapes were in English, but G learned that horsemanship is a universal language.

This weekend, G picked up checks in Lorena in both the 4YO Open and the Open, surpassing $100K in lifetime earnings! That young kid watching those VHS tapes in Italy could probably never have dreamed where he’d be today.

Thank you to everyone who called, texted, and reached out and thanks to Pat for the shoutout.

Special thanks to Rosy O’Grady’s in Italy. Without them, none of this would have been possible. They gave G his start and helped shape the horseman he is today.

Thank you to Gavin Jordan for giving G the opportunity of a lifetime in America. GMPH wouldn’t be where he is today without your continued guidance, mentorship, and encouragement.

Most importantly, thank you to every owner who trusted G with their horses and believed in the program. Reaching $100K in earnings isn’t possible without great customers and great horses. We’re incredibly grateful for every opportunity, every horse, and every person who has been part of this journey.

GMPH is just getting started.

Today we remember the men and women who gave everything for this country. Their sacrifice is the reason people like Gildo can come to America, chase a dream, and build a life doing what we love.

Freedom is a gift. The fact that we get to make a living riding horses every day is the ultimate privilege — and one we never want to take for granted.

Forever grateful to those who served and especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Thank you from GMPH. 🇺🇸

When a high-goal polo player from Argentina shows up to ride his first cutting horse, you lace up his tennis shoes and let him take a good one for a spin. 🇦🇷🤝🏻

Huge thanks to for coming out to GMPH and spending some time with us. Once he figured out what to do without the mallet in his right hand, he started looking like a seasoned cutter real quick. 🤠
