My experience in reining began the moment I was born. With my dad, Andrea Fappani, being one of the greatest reining trainers of all time, and my mom, Tish, being a highly successful non-pro, I was blessed with a unique opportunity to learn the sport. After a few bad wrecks on dirt bikes, I fully committed to showing reining horses when I was 12. From that point on, I progressed from being a youth rider to competing in non-pro derbies and futurities, and now to my current position competing in professional aged events.

The knowledge I gained from my parents, combined with further learning from Casey Deary, has given me an elevated understanding of training reining horses. I am now focused on creating a program that consistently ranks at the top.
