ADRIANO PEDRETTI
My passion for horses began in 1976; at the age of eight, my parents gave me my first horse, Gedy, a pony.
Horses slowly began to become a very important part of my life. My passion for Western riding, and especially for training American horses, grew steadily.
At 18, thanks to a friend, I met Kevin Vorhes, and my passion, in addition to being a great passion, also became a job.
After some time, I began working alongside Jean Steffell.
At 23, I left for the USA and headed to Oregon, where I worked and lived at Tom Sthilaire's Ranch, where I gained experience training Reining and CowHorse horses, particularly honing my skills in two- and three-year-old training and managing non-pro horses.
Back in Italy, I began my career as a trainer with my first clients, my first competitions, and my first results. I ran my own center for years, until I reached DREAM 555.
My passion for my work has led me over the years to deepen and refine my technique, growing as a trainer and breeder.
An integral part of my growth has been the constant updating I have received, participating in clinics with prominent figures in the reining world:
Craig Jonson, John Slack, Scott McCutcheon, Filippo Masi, Bob Avila, Marcus Shoffer, and Gaetan Gauttier.
