This method consists of breaking horses according to their nature, avoiding the use of fear or pain and instead gaining their confidence and loyalty. This method provides us with clear notions of how to treat the horse, knowing what, when and how to teach him and what we ultimately want to achieve with him. The horse learns by persuasion. It is up to us, therefore, to know his nature, behaviour and psychology so that we can manage, persuade and teach him an endless number of exercises that will make of that horse, an optimal animal for any given discipline.
In Indian Horse Breaking, you don’t need to be especially strong, or to be of some special body type. What you need is to know the horse in depth, and to know how to teach him progressively, step by step, the things that you will ask of him in the future. Things such as letting us ride him, jumping, or playing polo.
It is not a violent method because you do not punish the horse. You don’t pull on his mouth. You don’t kick him. The horse understands the limits, and this is the tool that we use to discipline him. The horse knows what is permitted and what is not.

I love the picture on the top. It reflects trust and respect between man and horse, which reflects your work. Bravo!

me encanta lo que hacen!!
adoro los caballos, tengo unos pocos, y me gustaría mucho aprender la Doma India…me encantaría que pudieran publicar algo así como un manual…aunque sé que esto no se aprende con un manual, pero, de algo servirían sus consejos.
Ojalá pronto visiten México, sería buenísimo ser alumna suya
Que estén bien
Saludos!!
RTTA DE CRISTOBAL: Maru, gracias por tu comentario, obvio que quisieramos ir a Mexico, es una cuenta pendiente, seguro ya llegará el momento y espero tu estes en ese evento. Estoy terminando algo que no es un manual, pero sin duda te servirá de ayuda para domar caballos, vivir sanamente y hacer lo que quieras con estos conceptos que son de gran utilidad para con los caballos, pero a mi me han servido para otras cosas de la vida, como las relaciones con la familia, la sociedad y la naturaleza, espero poder terminarlo y enviarte una copia cuando este publicado. Cariños desde San Luis - Argentina.
