Manuel Valdez

Manuel Valdez, Born in Ecatepec, State of Mexico, at 8 years of age moved to Ezequiel Montes, Qro., where I had my first experience and training with horses. At the age of 22 I obtained a degree in Social Anthropology from the Autonomous University of Querétaro.

"I decided to go and learn about the world of horses. My first experience with horses at the La Golondrina equestrian show, in the city of Oaxaca. I learned to ride, learned the basic care of a horse. Shortly after, I was an instructor at the school. My desire to continue learning led me to know the work of Oscar Scarpati, known as “The Horse Whisperer of Pampa and of Doma India Scarpati,. I was impressed and decided to travel to Argentina to learn this way of communicating with horses. Don Oscar not only taught me about horses but about life itself and its philosophy”:

“Domamos como vivimos y vivimos como domamos”

Manuel also says, “I am currently part of the Rancho Maguey team, where we work to improve the man-horse relationship, demonstrating that we can achieve great communication and a strong bond with horses. We promote NO violence and respect for these animals, showing that if I understand and communicate with my horse it is because I can also do it with myself.”
