McKayla Tichner MRT Equine Photography  I highly recommend Gascon Horsemanship Academy! For anyone wanting a career in the equine industry Gascon Horsemanship Academy is a real game changer. During the 8 weeks I spent at the Academy, I learned more about real horsemanship than I ever had in 20 years of riding horses with numerous different trainers. The Instructors were Top Notch. The instructors were amazing and the Gascon family always made me feel welcome. Post Graduation: Since Graduation I have returned home to begin my own equine business. Currently I'm teaching riding lessons and helping others with the training of their horses. Attending Gascon Horsemanship Academy has definitely changed my life for the better and helped my equine dreams come true!
Many Thanks, Adrianne Jane  Krista and I had a fabulous time and have talked about returning to Horse Haven with Krista's sister, Stacey. We were treated royally. The entire Gascon family and ranch staff were friendly and helpful. We felt very welcome.
The accommodations were clean and comfortable and the meals were delicious. They also took us out for dinner several times while we were there. We enjoyed the trail rides and instruction that we received. There were ample opportunities to do things we have never done before--obstacle course, horse soccer, etc. Playing soccer on horseback was a blast! Another highlight was riding three gorgeous Paso Fino stallions--Tito, Sockabo and BaBa Lu. We learned a lot about riding from everyone at the ranch. We bonded with the horses we rode by grooming them before and after riding. Everyone bent over backwards to make sure we had a great experience at Gascon Retreat at Horse Haven Ranch. They asked us what we would like to do and whether we were happy with the level of activity. I would highly recommend a stay at Horse Haven. We heartily thank Michael, Jaime, Cindi, Brooke, Luis and Sophie for all they did for us while we stayed at Horse Haven.

 The Story of Principe at the world cup in Puerto Rico I can remember my father riding and training Principe de Besilu, one of the finest Paso Fino Stallions of that time. I was just a kid but even then I knew, Principe was one of the great ones. I watched my Dad training and working with him every day, developing both his muscles and his mind. They were working toward the goal of being the world champion Fino stallion. Principe Goes to Puerto Rico That Year the world Championships were being held in Puerto Rico. We made reservations to fly both Principe and my father over several months early so they could become accustomed to the climate and venue. Principe de Besilu became a big favorite at the barn he was stabled at and always had his share of admirers and visitors during the lazy Puerto Rican summer days. FINALLY the day arrived My mother and I boarded a plane bound for Puerto Rico. I was super excited to travel and watch my dad (Jaime Gascon) show our Stallion and make a bid for the WORLD championship! We were watching him compete in front of a sold out arena with standing room only, in a country that is famous for high quality Paso Fino horses. It was the last work off of the night and the judges were trying to make the final selections of winners for the world championships. There were horses from literally all over the globe competing. Every country wanted to win the coveted World Champion Fino Stallion title. The competition was intense and the quality of horses was..... Well the best in the WORLD. Principe De Besilu and Jamie Gascon My Mom was holding my hand so tight; I thought it was going to break. It felt like the entire universe was holding its breath. When they announced my dad’s name over the loudspeaker the crowd went crazy! My Mom ran towards the gate, me behind her like a flag in the wind. My Dad made a victory lap at a full run with a sliding stop at the gate before getting tackled by my mom! Everyone was crying and the crowd ERUPTED in shouting and clapping and chants of PRINCIPE!!! My Dad held up that gorgeous shinny cup and I can just remember thinking "One day that's going be me!”. That was the day I decided I wanted to become a professional Horse trainer. I couldn't imagine any other life that would bring me the joy and excitement of training horses to compete with the best in the world. I'm very grateful for the opportunities I have been given to train with many world class trainers. I owe my success to all of them. What are your horsey goals and dreams?
