| Fostering good communication and understanding between you
and your horse, is the basis of everything we do. To help you achieve
this, we offer instruction through lessons or clinics, during which
we work with both you and your horse.
How your horse sees you on the ground will determine how he sees
you on his back, so we begin with simple – but powerful – groundwork that
serves a purpose under saddle. It is an opportunity for you to
develop a solid foundation with your horse.
It also helps ensure your horse is calm and able
to learn. Just like people, horses learn best when they are calm
– mentally, emotionally and physically. Calmness in your
horse will help you achieve obedience and suppleness, and therefore
better control of his mind and body.
That means we have to focus not only on what you need to do physically,
but also on how to do it emotionally and mentally. Just as your
horse needs to be emotionally supple, you need to develop that
same suppleness to
be able to send the correct messages and requests both on the
ground and under saddle.
"If you can't get it right on the ground, it won't happen
under saddle." Carlos

Working with Carlos one-on-one provides the opportunity to work on specific goals. These horses have benefited greatly from going bitless, learning to use their hindquarters properly to achieve true collection.
