Carlos came into my life in 2006, but unfortunately I as the student was not ready for Carlos, the teacher. I happened to be in a bookshop in June 2007 when I came across Carlos's recently published book. I bought it without hesitation and read it in a day and I keep referring to the book, as it has become my bible. Carlos has also been kind enough to answer questions when things are not going right for Misty and I. I felt at last I had found a horse whisperer who held the same beliefs as I did with regard to connecting with a horse on a spiritual, physical and emotional level.

I have been blessed with my beloved ¾ Arab mare, Misty, who has been in my life for over 3 years now and has also been a great teacher. From following Carlos's philosophy I have been able to gain Misty's trust and respect and I am now riding her bareback with just a rope halter and a lead rope as a rein. I have never used a bit or saddle on Misty and Carlos has given me the confidence to make my dream come true in riding Misty like a Native American Indian, a horse culture I greatly admire.

I have become so inspired by Carlos and his philosophy that I am organizing a clinic here in Perth in 2008.

Thank you for Carlos for your time, advice and support. You are truly a wonderful human being and gifted horseman.

Sam and Misty
