The Paso Fino Demos at the PA Horse Expo were a Huge Success! All the hard work and practice paid off, the RO-NO Team presented our Paso Finos in fine form. Nic B and Alaina L were a great team, gaiting and cantering in tandem, even over the jumps. They sure did a fine job showing that Pasos are a versatile breed. Willow had a beautiful Spanish dress costume, Robbie displayed Fino on El Pastor, and Nola showed off what Performance horses can do on Paso Stallion Je Ne Sais Quoi Sin Par.Watch for pictures on our Photo Gallery.

Check out our newest page, Ralph Rodriguez, Saddle and Harness Maker. Mr. Rodriguez takes care of all my leather needs and repairs. I have a wonderful Western Saddle custom made by him. He brought several saddle trees to the Ranch, we tried them on the horse to check for the best fit, found one to my liking that fit the horse well, and from there he proceeded to custom create a fabulous saddle that I use for my Cowboy Mounted Shooting Events. I so like it that I use it nearly everyday on other horses as well. Please keep an eye on this page, as we will soon be adding more information and pictures to it.
Cardillo did it again! We attended a SASS Mounted Shooting Match on Long Island on Aug. 21st. Cardillo started out doing well, and just got better throughout the day. We ended with a 2nd place in our division, but the highlight of the day was the Cowboy Challenge. This involved shooting a pattern of 5 balloons, holstering the gun, then quickly negotiating a series of obstacles, then shooting a rundown of 5 more balloons. There were 10 entries in this, and Cardillo blew them all out of the water! Our end time was about half that of the second place entry! Cardillo really shines in the obstacle events.
Thank you to everyone who Participated, Attended and helped Out at our Extreme Cowboy Race held here at RO-NO Ranch On Aug. 13th. We had a fantastic turnout, 17 riders and over 500 spectators. Thanks so much for your generosity. All in all we raised over $500 for Over The Hill Farm, and had a ton of great items donated as well ( saddles, saddle pads, grooming tools, crops, winter blankets and so on) Thank you!!

Cardillo rocked at the CMSA Match held at Malibu Dude Ranch, July 30th. Both Cardillo and Calif competed ( Calif is such a good boy, hasn't been shot off of in nearly two years and he just took it in stride, ran two stages without a problem. ) and Cardillo really went to work. We ended up winning the Ladies 1 Division in the Stage 2 Match. Our next match will be on August 21.
Congratulations to Everyone who participated at the Cobleskill Show!
What a fantastic time we had! The horses were in fine form, and the environment was relaxed and fun. Good job everyone! It was a treat to get to see/socialize with all of our friends from the North East. Thank you for a great show!
Extreme Cowboy Race held at RO-NO Ranch was enjoyed by all! With over a dozen riders participating, a good time was had by all. Obstacles ranged from jousting, a water hazard, pushing a giant soccer ball through a chute, a rope gate, a teeter-totter and more. The food was fantastic, and we will plan on hosting one again soon!
PFHA Show at Lexington was huge Success! The heat was on at this Spectacular Show in Lexington Virginia, with temps in the muggy high 90's and with horses ready to rock the show ring. To heat things up even more, Saturday evenings Extreme Cowboy Race was a hit with both spectators and contestants! Congrats to RO-NO Riders Nicole, Ali and Jess for placing in the top 4! Great Job to you all- we had a fantastic show.
Feature Sale Horse of the Month- Royal Flush Savannah- 2010 Grey Fino Filly. Sire- Fino Champion El Pastor del Juncal. Dam- Performance mare Katarina de Luminoso (Luminoso) Watch for updates in this fiery filly. She's headed to her first show at the end of April.
Derby Day at the Waverly Country Club was a huge hit! RO-NO Ranch supplied three Paso Fino horses to participate in some demo rides at a local fund raiser. Nicole Bartell riding Cardillo Sin Par, Pam Kavlick on her Paso filly Sneak and Nola Keill riding El Pastor del Juncal all showed off the breeds smooth ride to many of our areas elite. Here is Pam and Sneak, who were a hit with their good looks and crowd pleasing gait.
Dillsburg Show was an great success! RO-NO brought 13 horses and all performed beautifully. We're very proud of all of our riders and their mounts. Congrats and thanks to all who made this such a successful show. We are already looking forward to riding at Lexington next month. The Mason Dixon Extreme Cowboy Race at Dillsburg Saturday evening was such a hit ( we had 17 riders! ) that we have been asked to host it at Lexington- we will see you there!
Cardillo Excels at Mounted Shooting Clinic!
Cardillo and Nola participated in a Mounted Shooting Clinic on Long Island on Sunday April 10th. By clinics end Cardillo was navigating his patterns well while Nola shot the balloon targets.

* RO-NO Ranch is thrilled to announce Nola and Calif's role in the Paso Fino demonstration during the World Equestrian Games in Lexington, KY in October 2010. The WEG is one of the premier horse events held.
* PFHA Grand National Show: Calif was the Man!! He placed in all four of his classes- including a big win in the driving class. So he has added 4 new National Titles to his resume. He was 4th place in Versatility, 5th in Western Pleasure and Trail. He performed very well- just was not an active enough mover to suit some of the judges. We were extremely pleased with his performances and had dozens of people seek us out to tell us how much they enjoyed watching him perform. Ann Bastian's Performance Gelding added a new National title to his resume as well- winning 5th in the Gelding for Gold Class. Rose Ashley's Fino Stallion was wonderful. Fino is a challenging discipline and the competition is very strong. Rose rode him wonderfully- and was a strong contender in her classes. He really stood out in the Fino Junior classes- winning a 4th National Title in Fino Junior, and taking the Honorable Mention in the Fino Junior Grand Championship. Way to go Jess! This was the first Nationals Title this horse has won- and we are looking forward to doing it all again next year.
* Caballo's Top Gun and Calif de Color Sin Par have both achieved thier Title of Proficiency.
* All four of RO-NO's stallions are part of the Stallion Service Auction/Breeder's Sweepstakes. Look for them in the Stallion Service Catalog at this year's PFHA Grand National Show.
* Caballo's Top Gun's offspring are now eligible for the Mason-Dixon Futurity Program. 
* News from Rachel: Over The Hill Farm Show results, April 19th 2009: Jenna, Amy, Olivia and Nicole showed off their strengths today at the OTHF show. The girls rode flawlessly and gave folks a glowing impression of the quality of the horses, riders and training at RO-NO Ranch.
* RO-NO Ranch had a great time and turnout at the all-breed, all-discipline clinic March 7-8, 2009. If you missed this one, look for future opportunities!

Tickets for the auction will be available for sale at the Mason Dixon PFHA Booth. Come see father and son at this event!
*Mason Dixon Youth Fun Night, Clinic, and Awards Banquet: We had nine Mason Dixon Youth Members attend the Youth Fun Night and Clinic. They all had a blast negotiating the Obstacle Course, which included moving a super sized soccer ball, riding (and backing) through an archway with streamers hanging down, crossing over ground poles, and moving a flag from one bucket to another. While the horses were cooling out after the games, we had two pinatas stuffed full of candy (thanks to Dr. Ann Bastian for these) that the kids had a ton of fun smashing to pieces and diving for the goodies.
On Sunday- Nola HK gave a talk and demonstration about equine dentistry. All the youth members took a turn at reaching into a (held open) horses mouth to feel the sharp edges, and then again after the horse was floated to get to feel the difference once the edges were smoothed off. Then Rick Schaeffer talked briefly about winter care for horses. After that the saddles went on and the riding began. The morning riding session was working on Equitation and balance, and then working on controlling the horses shoulders. After lunch, we reviewed with a question and answer session, handing out prizes for correct answers. Then it was back in the saddle, review of the morning work session, and then a group trail ride through the hills of southern PA. We ended up with a happy, content group who are looking forward to another clinic in the spring.
The group from RO-NO Ranch was pleased to come away from our awards banquet with a hearty handful of ribbons and awards. Jessica Brosko  was the High Point Junior Rider, riding RO-NO Ranch's Performance Stallion Caballo's Top Gun. She was also 3rd Place A/O Performance as well as placing in the Non Show Awards Division. Placing well in the High Point Awards must run in the family, sister Allison Brosko took the High Point Award for the Sub-Junior Division, and Robbie Keill was Reserve High Point. Youth Rider Rorie Pierson was (4th ) in the Youth Division and (4th) in the Non Show High Point Division as well. Dr. Ann Bastian and her Performance Gelding PJ took a major coup in the Performance Divisions, taking the High Point Awards in both the A/O and Open Performance. RO-NO Stallion Calif de Color Sin Par was the winner of both the High Point Western Pleasure and High Point Versatility Awards, placing in the Non Show Awards Division as well.
Topping off the day was the presentation of the High Point Trainer of the Year Award, given to Nola Haupert-Keill. This was definitely a team effort, and I'd like to say "Thank You!" to everyone here who put in long hours of hard work. Training a horse is much more than just getting on and riding it. Its stall has to be cleaned; it needs regular turnout, fresh water, feed, hay and so on. It has to have an owner/rider dedicated to coming and riding and learning. Everyone here at RO-NO had a part in this- so the recognition of this Award goes to all of you as well.
So, Thank You, Thank you, Thank You!! It has been a great year filled with many accomplishments and great times. I'm looking forward to doing it all again!

* RO-NO Ranch riders gave their green horses a great outing at the LA Quarter Horse Farm NPHA horse show Sunday, July 7th. Rachel was impressed with our young medium pony Paris. She behaved impeccably and won a third place in her first hunter class. Maribelle MacAlpin's grand- daughter Jessica got the chance to show Roseanne Ashley's Thoroughbred Sam and made him look wonderful. Jenna Franklin showed her three year old Mercury who behaved perfectly all day. She also showed her mother's gelding Copy. This amazing Appaloosa is 20 years young. He jumped in the show ring for the first time in 10 years!!! Nicole Bartell was all smiles after showing Kanani in three classes and improving each time. Olivia Counterman continued her winning streak with Nick by winning Champion Beginner Hunter Rider. Finally we enjoyed watching our friend Helen Fisher win Reserve Champion Starting Hunter with her young mare Ce-Ce in her second show ever! She looked like a champion in the making. Well done everyone!
 * Happy Birthday Robbie! Here he is riding his new mount, Valiente. Congratulations and best of luck.
Dr. Ann Bastian's Performance Gelding PJ is well on the road to recovery. He was recently diagnosed with severe ulcers and gastritis and we are slowly bringing him back into top form. He competed and placed well at this weekends show, and we look forward to having him and Calif compete again at this years Paso Fino Nationals in September. The rest of the RO-NO crew had a fabulous show. Allison Brosko, Rorie Peirson, Robbie Haupert-Keill and Jessica Brosko all competed in our Youth Classes and came home smiling!
One reason for the happy homecoming was the arrival of 'Gavin de Amadeus'. Gavin is a lovely bay and white Pinto Paso Fino colt. His dam Devon is owned by Rorie and Tracy Peirson and his sire is RO-NO's own Caballo's Top Gun. Gavin arrived early in the morning on June 16, so he shares a birthday with Robbie. Happy Birthday to both of you! We will post pics of Tracy and Rorie's new foal soon.
*On May 25, 2008 Rachel, Nola and several students attended a NPHA Spring Show at Lake Equestrian Center in Lake Ariel PA. We had a very successful and fun day, and the weather was beautiful. Rachel set the tone for the day by taking Reserve Champion on sale horse Irrepressible, (Sam) in Starting Hunter. Sam is owned by Rosanne Ashley.
Olivia Counterman took her lovely QH Nick into Model Hunter and came out with a second place, and then she followed that up by taking the Championship in the Walk/Jog Division. Also having a very successful run in the Walk/Jog division was Nicole Mazzotta on her young TB Kanani Lio. This was the 5 year old horse's first show and he handled it like a pro- as did Nicole. Good job to both of you!
* The crew at RO-NO Ranch started their spring Paso Fino Show Season off with a bang! Many thanks to the whole gang that participated in and helped out at the Mason Dixon May Day Show at the Diamond 7 in Dillsburg, PA.
Rorie Peirson and her dun gelding Gallo de Reina Sin Par entered and placed well in Country Pleasure, Pleasure Junior, Pleasure Geldings and A/O Pleasure Geldings. Gallo and Rorie are a great team and it shows! Jessica Brosko ( Granddaughter of Maribelle MacAlpin) showed RO-NO Ranch's Performance Stallion Caballo's Top Gun in A/O Performance Stallions and Performance Junior, handily taking home the blues. She also rode 3 year old Macadoo's Tatiana in A/O Schooling Fillies and Macadoo's Tornado in A/O Pleasure Geldings. Macadoo's Tornado was also shown in Pleasure Sub Junior by Alison Brosko. Alison brought home her first Blue Ribbon on Sunday, winning the Sub Junior Class. Congratulations all!!!
Dr. Ann Bastian's Performance Gelding PJ gave a fine performance this weekend, winning the Performance Championship in both the A/O and Open Divisions. New Paso Fino owner Rosanne Ashley's 5 year old mare Katarina was shown by Robbie Haupert-Keill in Pleasure Sub Junior on Saturday, where he proudly took the Blue for our client on this classy little mare.
Calif de Color Sin Par and Nola Haupert-Keill had a very successful weekend, taking home the Blues in Western Pleasure, Versatility and Trail. Look for Calif at the Mason Dixon Spectacular Show at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington Virginia in June, where he will once again enter in these Specialty Classes.
* Mason Dixon Youth Program Planned for Mason Dixon Spectacular Show in Lexington Virginia. The Mason Dixon Paso Fino Youth Chair Nola Haupert-Keill has a program planned for our Youth members for the Mason Dixon Spectacular Show in Lexington Virginia. With help from some volunteers, Nola plans to have each Youth Class monitored on Friday with a goal of giving our Youth members some pointers for future classes. Those monitoring the classes will take notes on individual Youth riders. These notes will be discussed at a group Youth meeting on Friday evening following the last class of the day. Preceding this discussion will be a brief talk given by Dr. Ann Bastian concerning parasite control in our equines. After the meeting, we will have an hour of Fun & Games on Horseback! ( Youth members are asked to attend the meeting in order to participate in the game time.) ( There are 4 Show 1 Youth classes on Saturday. We will have these classes monitored, and any Youth participating in them is asked to contact Nola Haupert-Keill after Show 1 if they would like to see the notes taken about their classes.)
The volunteers who monitor classes will be provided with a notebook, pen and a list of the entries in the classes that are assigned to them. We will all be busy with our own horses at the show, but please consider donating some time for our Youth. The program run at the Mason Dixon May Day Show in Dillsburg PA was very successful, and we look forward to working with our Youth members at Lexington. Any Youth member wishing to participate and any volunteer able to monitor a Youth class are asked to contact Nola prior to the show.
Contact Nola Haupert-Keill on her cell at 570-937-4978 or by email at rono@socantel.net
