Ramon Castro is a horse trainer, clinic educator, and vaquero with a passion for building trust and understanding between horse and human. Based in Wyoming and born in the rugged terrain of Chihuahua, Mexico, Ramon's journey with horses began amidst the untamed beauty of the countryside.

From a young age, Ramon found himself drawn to the pasture. Spending his formative years roaming the fields with donkeys and mules, he developed an intuitive understanding of their language and behavior. Soon they welcomed him into their herd, even allowing him to ride them.

Today, Ramon's approach to horse training reflects the quiet wisdom of the land that raised him. His method is not about commands and obedience; it's about fostering a deep sense of trust and partnership between horse and human. With a blend of compassion and instruction, Ramon guides both novice horse owners and seasoned equestrians on a journey towards mutual understanding and the foundational partnership that can last a lifetime when earned the respectful way.

Our methods emphasize leadership and groundwork as the foundation for a successful partnership. Horses naturally seek a leader they can rely on. Once they trust us, they're eager to learn and cooperate. Then by teaching your horse to move with confidence and respond to cues on the ground, we lay the groundwork for a safe and enjoyable riding or working experience.
