Once again, we were honored to be invited to a Doma Racional (Horse Whisperer) training session at our friends' ranch. Doma Racional is a way of taming horses with patience, respect, and acknowledgment of the horse's mental state and body language.
The trainer, Marcelo Gonzalez, has an amazing gift and talent working with horses. To watch Marcelo take a horse from wild to saddled and ridden in just over an hour is something to experience. And all with a gentle touch and understanding of the magnificent animal standing before him. I can never see this enough and I always shed a tear because the connection between man and horse is so beautiful.
In the photos above, there is a sequence. The photos show the untamed horse coming into the corral, then the gentle procession of taming, until the horse accepts a saddle and rider.
