Through the Eyes of the Horse - Understanding, Under Saddle

As Carlos demonstrates the foundations of ridden work, he shows you how to develop the 
calmness, rhythm, contact and impulsion you need to establish straighness and balance. In an educational format that features nine "unfinished" horses in training, including youngsters with only a couple of weeks work under saddle as well as older horses with entrenched behavioural issues, you will clearly see the steps Carlos takes to resolve real issues.

Carlos shows you how to master the basics of bareback riding, take a horse from hollow to rounded, develop straightness/balance/rhythm, give a young green horse the right start, create confidence with imagination, help an explosive horse become responsive, relax a runaway horse, establish willingness and understand the finer cues required to begin more advanced lateral work.

Get inspired - and learn how to achieve the same success with your horse.

“Through the Eyes of the Horse - The Book”

Known worldwide for the remarkable results he achieves with foals, starting young horses under saddle, retraining horses, and rehabilitating abused horses, Carlos has been described as the “next generation of horsemen” and the “gentlest horseman” yet to touch a horse. He rejects the use of bits in favour of developing understanding and pain-free communication. His absolutely gentle approach uses consistent, confident and kind leadership to develop trust, obedience and respect in the horse.

Carlos has helped hundreds of horses and people achieve extraordinary partnerships, based on mutual understanding and respect, and he can help you do the same.

Carlos’ approach doesn’t require you to memorise a series of steps or to purchase lots of expensive tools. It’s a philosophy he has borrowed from the horses themselves and uses to achieve remarkable results with horses and riders, regardless of riding discipline.

The concise explanations and analogies in the book are supported by comprehensive colour photographs that will help improve your:

• Understanding of how horses learn and how to communicate with them
• Awareness of how your actions and attitudes influence the results you achieve with your horse – and how you can change them
• Horsemanship skills on the ground, and therefore in the saddle
• Ability to develop feel, timing and balance

Perhaps most importantly, you will learn to consider your horse’s mind, body and spirit in all the work you do with him or her. For, as Carlos says,

“Once you have the horse’s heart and mind, his body will follow”.

Now available in a two disc DVD:

Based on Carlos’ best selling book “Through the Eyes of the Horse”, this two disc set demonstrates his philosophy in depth so you can achieve real understanding and pain-free communication for the safety of you and your horse.

Carlos won’t tell you his way is right; but he will tell you that his philosophy is learned from the horses themselves. You don’t need complicated steps or expensive tools. You simply need to see how your actions and attitudes really affect your results.
