The Run For A Million

❤️CaseyDeary
Every great horse has a first chapter, and sometimes it doesn’t go as planned.
About a month ago in Tulsa, Casey showed Bellissimo, a very talented 3-year-old making his very first trip to the show pen. When the lights, judges, and atmosphere became overwhelming, Casey stopped, petted him, stepped off and quietly walked out. He knew the horse was special, but he also knew that forcing the moment wouldn’t build the confidence Bellissimo needed. (Picture from that moment)
Instead, they went home, hauled him around a few places, and worked with him.
Fast forward to today: Bellissimo just walked into the All American Quarter Horse Congress Open Futurity and marked a 221 — currently leading the Open Prelims for Arcese Quarter Horses. 🙌
That’s horsemanship. Believing in the horse, giving them patience, and knowing that the right foundation today will build champions tomorrow.

Casey and William left it all out in the arena on Saturday night, and they certainly did not disappoint! William has been so consistent all year and marking huge scores. we couldn't be more proud of him and can't wait to see what next year has in store. Thank you to everyone who has been apart of our journey in any way!
William is home now for some well deserved rest and relaxation, and prepare for the 2026 breeding season! Stay tuned for more info as that gets closer:)
Thank you all!

I'm extremely honored to be participating in my 6th RUN FOR A MILLION this year! To share such a prestigious lineup with 4 Qualifiers that have been an important part of FAPPANI PERFORMANCE HORSES makes me incredibly proud; ARNO HONSTETTER, MARCO RICOTTA, my son LUCA and FERNANDO SALGADO (who is unable to participate as he is recovering from an injury) have all complimented my program and been a big part of my journey with horses and horsemanship.
We are all competitors and friends– at the RFAM, it's a showcase of excellence and it promises to be a great show!
