About Us
Gianna S. Hansen
She is a true horseman. She began at age eight competing with hunter jumpers and then moved into color guard, gymkhanas, and youth reining, winning her first buckle at age 16. After college, she returned to horses in 2004, buying a young reining prospect mare and then another to begin showing in the Rookie Reining in 2005.
Throughout the years, she has continued to be a fierce competitor dedicating herself to the sport in such disciplines as ranch, reining, cow horse, and and most recently cutting. Her ability to bring the best out of her performance horses whether from her own breeding program or through purchase is seen time and time again through their accomplishments and honors.
