I've him since he was born and I knew his parents well.  His dad had an amazing temperament for a breeding stallion and his mum had done very little but her lovely kind nature shone through.

I owned his half brother Sinbad (Silver Sun) from 3years old to 6 years old where I ended up briefly giving horses up due to lack of time but he was such a lovely boy with lots of untapped potential.

I briefly loaned Carlos over the winter of 2018, where his owner at the time kindly let me ride him when Silk was out of action.  I fell for him straight away but knew he needed a lot of work, so when his owner knew she wouldn't sell him and wasn't sure how long I could loan him for I decided to buy something else.

Little did I know things would change for his owner and be such perfect timing for me as I'd loaned two with a view to buying over the rest of the time which hadn't worked out.  Bella had just gone back and I saw his advert.  Though he was over my budget, it was worth paying extra when I knew him and what he could be with the work.  But I didn't jump straight into it and his owner kindly let me have him on a couple weeks loan so I could get another feel for him and make sure he was still the same horse after having been out on loan over the summer.  But first, sit back on him I knew it was meant to be!

We arranged for a vetting, just for peace of mind after things going wrong with the first horse I had this year (2019) and paying more money than originally planned to pay for my new horse.

After an anxious wait for the vetting, he sailed through his vetting and came to live with me a few days later.

I'm starting from scratch with his work, including groundwork so our journey is only just begun but I know I'm definitely going to enjoy having this boy! Even if he's grey and part Arab which were two things I said I'd never get again haha.
