I had horses for the last 9 years and had this dream:
I wanted my young mares trained in a way that would create understanding
and communication between us and not be based on fear or pain.
For me this also meant that they would never have shoes on their
feet or a bit in their mouth.
I finally came across Carlos's website and gave him a ring. "Will
you start horses without a bit?" I asked him. I very much
liked what I was hearing: "I prefer to start horses without
a bit."
Well, this was the beginning of some wonderful experiences my
horses and I had from then on.
There was one other problem I was facing: I couldn't ride. Coming
from Germany it is a very expensive sport not a lot of people
can afford.
Not only did Carlos train my horses but over the last year he
has and still is teaching me how to ride in this understanding
way I was looking for.
I am almost 50 and was petrified of falling off, or the horse
running through a fence with me, or whatever fear my mind would
come up with. Over the last year, step by step, Carlos has built
up my confidence.
I would have never believed that now I am riding all my horses
on a halter and feel absolutely safe. I still have a lot
to learn but the riding lessons are an absolute pleasure and a
lot of fun. I can enjoy the journey of learning to ride instead
of just focusing on the outcome and forgetting to enjoy the moment.
I love to come to the clinics. They are such a good way of learning
and having fun in a safe environment.
Carlos has fulfilled a dream I always thought would never happen:
He has trained my horses with understanding and is helping me
to get a relationship based on good communication between me and
my horses.
Thank you sooo much. Not just from me, but from all of my horses
you have either started or retrained, they just love coming to
you.
Very gratefully
Monika and Larry, Oracle, Missy, Moira and Denis (all my beautiful
horses)
