Dixie would rather run through a fence than have you approach her. It
was impossible, no matter how hard I tried, to bond with her and
she was getting more dangerous by the day. I was finding it hard
to like Dixie let alone love her, something had to change.
Carlos traveled to us and from the first lesson we took a step forward and never looked back.
Without a word of a lie, when Carlos first took hold of Dixie's lead rope she let out a big sigh and visibly relaxed.
To be told all you need is you, a rope and a halter to train your horse was very refreshing.
Through clinics and lessons, Carlos has taught me many things
to do with horse training over the last year, but its his words
be 'kind, consistent and keep things calm' that I always repeat
over and over to myself. It has been hard work but I've had a
lot of fun, and I've met a lot of like minded people through the
clinics. I can honestly say, today Dixie is completely different,
she is a sweet natured little mare that has no vices, except being
a little hesitant getting on the float. She is quiet to ride and
coming along wonderfully. The most important thing is we trust
each other which is very special to me.
Thank you Carlos for everything you've done, many kind regards Holly and 'Dixie'
