Aragon Performance Horses

“Shaping the next generation of reining and ranch horses, from first ride to finished performance.”

Horses aren’t just our passion—they’re at the heart of everything we do. We focus on practical, compassionate care that keeps every horse comfortable, healthy, and ready for adventure.

From barn aisle to back-country trail, we combine years of experience with a friendly approach so you always feel welcome and supported.

Meet the team

Santiago

Originally from Argentina, Santiago brings a strong horsemanship background and international experience to his program. He trained under Claudinho Fernandez Peralta in Argentina then gained extensive experience riding 2-year-olds in Oklahoma and Texas at Open L4 reining barns.

Now, Santiago is currently based in Georgia focusing on developing reining and ranch riding prospects. Santiago is known for his patient, thoughtful colt starting approach, emphasizing softness, responsiveness, and confidence in young horses.

Johanna

As the daughter of two veterinarians, Johanna developed a deep respect for animal care from an early age. A graduate of the University of Georgia, she brings a strong administrative background with lifelong experience in the horse industry.

Her time working for the Martinotti family in Whitesboro, Texas provided valuable insight into the daily operations of a professional training program and ultimately led her to meet Santiago.
