Bond of trust – our partners, our horses

Manuela’s working philosophy and ground work with our 17 months old stallion DOMINGO at our hacienda “coral” - Natural Horsewomanship.
Working at close hands with our horses, we do not use force or any other common strong – arm tactics. In all situations we never use whips or spores. First come trust and love. Communication with the horses, our partners, is a primary step. Similar to humans, personal and body contact, a lot of caresses and strokes are important. It takes a lot of time to get the trust, but it is the most important part in establishing the relationship between horse and human. This little photo story tells about our stallion “DOMINGO”

Domingo was born at our hacienda, the photo above shows him at about 4 weeks old. Today at 17 months, he spends his time wit his mother in the fields and still enjoys mother’s milk. Since birth he has followed us everywhere. When we saddle, ride trails, in the gardens, horse shoeing. All this has become normal and is part of the training. He does not have negative experiences with human contact. He enjoys massages, lifting legs, relaxing with his head down, and playing.

For me (Manuela), hundreds of riding tours through the Andes have improved my horsewomanship and brought me very close to them.
Experience with us the wonderful harmony with horses on our TRAIL RIDING VACATIONS:
The criollos horses are great partners.
