Andres Castano, an astoundingly naturally gifted performance trainer and showman, is Head Trainer at Arabian Acres, consistently providing clients with thoroughly trained Arabians that love their “jobs.”
Andres offers professional performance training for shows, including Western Pleasure, Hunter Pleasure, Reining, Amateur Instruction, and pleasure riding.
For centuries, the Arabian has been praised for being one of the world’s most beautiful, intelligent, charismatic, athletic, and human-loving breeds. However, recent changes in ideals have caused a shift in what our beloved horses are and are not expected to accomplish in their lives. At Arabian Acres, we believe that these horses should embody not some but all of the characteristics the versatile Arabian is known for. We’ve titled such an ambition “The Complete Arabian Horse,” and it is what we strive for in every aspect of our program.From the moment a foal is born at Arabian Acres, he/she is treated royally and with utmost respect. However, in return, the foal should echo that respect to all humans–not just trainers. We employ a blend of techniques based on natural horsemanship to instill polite behavior in all resident horses in training, regardless of age and gender. (But, whoever had any doubt that an Arabian could be a true gentleman or lady, anyway?) Whether your horse is a newborn or a National Champion, we believe in his/her innate ability to excel in all walks of life.
We believe you should be able to share your life with your Arabian. You should be empowered by your horse, and not discouraged. Your Arabian should be the apple of your eye, not a sore sight. The two of you should share a bond that runs deep and lasts a lifetime. After all, that’s what most us of dreamt of when we first purchased our Arabians, isn’t it? While horse ownership in general isn’t always romantic, it should still be a joy that greatly fulfills you. Let us help you create or mend the lasting connection between you and your Arabian.
Have you yet to find your perfect equine match? We have several select sales available that are proven “Complete Arabian Horses.” We would be delighted to be a part of your ownership experience.
All owners, breeders, trainers, and active participants in the Arabian horse world are stewards of these magnificent horses. Arabian Acres is taking a stand for what every Arabian should be given the opportunity to become: Complete. Complete in heart, mind, soul, and body. Not lacking in any area of life. With every trainee, great and small, we are doing our part to make a difference for this wonderful breed.
