Jewell
Jewell, a six-year-old Andalusian, came to Whispering Acres to be trained by Carlos at five years of age when she was separated from her mother for the first time and unhandled. For the first 12 months after starting, it is important to concentrate on straightness and balance and consolidating control and understanding. Jewell has returned to start work on developing her extended and collected frame. Here she has been asked (for the first time) for a collected canter using a bitless bridle.

Our gentle philosophy ensures improved performance regardless of your preferred discipline, increased versatility, and a firm foundation on which you can continue to develop a true partnership and unity with your horse.

At Whispering Acres, we work with a wide range of riders and horses. Those who find their way to Whispering Acres to seek Carlos’ advice and training, are involved in all equestrian disciplines, from dressage and eventing to endurance and pleasure riding. They are people seeking to find the best in their horses and themselves.

We also provide training and retraining for horses that may have developed behavioural issues such as those caused by confusion, misunderstanding, fear or simply poor handling. Please note that Carlos believes each horse deserves his full attention, and so he only takes a limited number at any one time for training. This means that it is best to book your horse in as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

When you choose to bring your horse to Whispering Acres, you're choosing to take an active part in the work Carlos does with your horse. Carlos encourages you to gain an understanding of what he is doing so that you feel confident enough to maintain a consistent approach and build on the foundation established with your horse here.

"Horses don't plan and reason to make life miserable for us. They need to know where they belong in our herd." Carlos

At three, Harry is already a big colt, but he's becoming flexible too.

Harry's learning fast – this is just his second week of training.
