About Casey &
Kirstine Hidalgo Casey Hidalgo Casey has spent his entire life with horses, from a
young age he showed Western Pleasure and helped start children’s horses
& ponies for local families. Casey was surrounded by
a very horse orientated family who specialized in the breeding and
showing industries and hold many world champion titles in both areas.
He was fortunate to spend a lot of one on one time with a student and friend of
Tom Dorrance and gained much insight into the finer points of
horsemanship, horse training and colt starting. Originally from
Casey roping at Island Ranch, Ames, Oklahoma
Casey has Team Roped professionally, attending the USTRC Finals in 2004, spent time as a Professional Farrier, Horse Hauler and Colt Starter. He now takes on horses in many fields, predominantly Cutting & Reining as well as Ranch/Trail Horse, Trail & Problem/Difficult Horses. Casey’s methodology consists of many years hands on working with horses and studying colt starters, horse trainers and horses in competition to create his ‘own way’ around the horse.

Horses in training are taught to hold their bodies correctly, stay soft and calm in body and mind and they help the horses find their ‘talent & potential’ and encourage them to specialize in those areas to become great horses.

“I want to show the world my understanding of horses, how to help train a horse without ‘tools’ and being ‘bitted up’ how to gain trust, respect and ‘want to’ from your horses without force. My passion is performance horses as they are bred for the job and I love seeing them evolve from a weedy two year old into an outstanding horse in the show pen.” Casey
Kirstine Hidalgo

from a family who have traveled the world enjoying horses from a vast
cultural background. She has ridden horses across the

''Our passion is Performance Horses, Using Horses and the Well Rounded Horse, we're both very excited to help people progress with their horses as well as get our own horses into the show pen''

While both working on their showing experiences and spreading the word, The Hidalgo's also teach Horsemanship Clinics ‘From The Ground Up’ covering the basics of horse care and manners up to preparation for the show pen, as well as the finished horse in the show arena!
“The horses I have met along the way have taught me so much in how to adapt to the horse in your presence and how to appreciate the magnificence of a powerful horse. I have spent years with horsemen and women from vast backgrounds each with something different to offer the horse, I now aim to use all these useful pieces of knowledge and offer them to all my present and future horses.” Kirstine
“I appreciate how important it
is to have a horse you can work with, trust & show and have an understanding of
Performance/Competition horses, Working Ranch horses and Trail horses.
