Francesco and I met like most horse training business couples meet, we met working for the same ranch. At least that is what we tell everyone. The real story is that the first time we met I was visiting my brother in Texas while he was working for Chris Dawson. He was living in a house at the time that was owned by another horse trainer, Tom McCutcheon who had just hired an Italian assistant horse trainer, named Francesco Martinotti. I was there the day Francesco moved in and did not know a word of english. I was asleep on the couch when he walked through the front door and said “ciao”. Little did we know that after that first meeting we would go on to have a beautiful son together and be planning a wedding 4 years later. Shortly after that first meeting, I quit my job with Delta Airlines and came to work for the same ranch as Francesco as the office manager. From day one Francesco and I were great friends and within a few months we were dating and a few months after that we were living together. We bought our first ranch a year later and that is where we have decided to have our wedding! We hope that you will all be able to join us in celebrating our somewhat lengthy and unconventional journey to the altar! Its has been a wild ride and we are so thankful for everyones constant love and support
