Just over a year ago I brought my dream horse, a big palomino
purebred Quarter Horse. But unfortunately he wasn't a dream to
handle, and although he wasn't the least bit nasty, he was nervous
of everything and when I rode him, he would not stand still at
all for me to get on and he would go where he wanted to go and
not where I asked him to go, he basically had no respect for me
or what I wanted him to do. He would also go along with his head
up and his back hollow, and would stick his head up when you put
the bridle on as he didnŐt like his ears being touched.
I didn't want to ruin him by trying to fix any of his behavioral
problems myself, and I had heard from word of mouth that Carlos
was "gifted" with horses, so I rang up and booked him
in. Although none of those problems were really considered major,
as he wasn't nasty or aggressive, the horse that I have back now
after taking him to Carlos is just amazing.
Jack is only 3 years old and I now ride him in just a halter
and I have the softest and most responsive horse anyone could
ever want. Jack is so much more confident in me and in himself,
its like he trusts me completely now as when I ask him to do things
that he hasn't done before, he does them without hesitation. Even
our trip to the beach for the first time was a great day and Jack
went in the water like he had done it a million times before,
not like it was his first time. He now looks at traffic and trucks
that he would once shy from without a care in the world.
I continue to have lessons and attend clinics that Carlos runs
as he has helped me just as much as he has helped Jack. Carlos
has taught me how to communicate with my horse so that he knows
what I am asking of him, and that I also have to give to my horse
before I can ask for something back from him. Carlos has inspired
me to change my thinking, and I believe that I was blessed to
come across such a gentle, kind and compassionate teacher such
as Carlos. If everyone did their horse a favor and brought them
to Carlos, there would be a lot of happy horses (and owners) in
the world. I am thankful every day that I had the privilege of
working with Carlos and I am sure that Jack thanks me for it!
In fact I know he does just by his amazing behavior now.
If anyone would like to speak to me regarding taking their horse
to Carlos, please feel free to contact me on 0431 125 525. You
really would be doing yourself and your horse the world of good.
Thank you Carlos from the bottom of my (and Jack's) heart, you
truly are the best thing that has happened to us!!
