My name is Carlos, I’m 17 years old, and horses have been part of my life since I was three years old, when I started riding at Healing with Horses Zimbabwe. They have shaped who I am and have always been my safe place.
What I love most about horses is that they never judge you. They don’t care where you come from or what challenges you are facing. Whenever I ride, I forget the stress of school and life. Horses calm me down, help me release tension, and always leave me feeling peaceful.
Through Healing with Horses Zimbabwe, I’ve also seen how this connection can impact the lives of children facing disabilities, trauma, and emotional struggles. Watching a child feel joy, confidence, and calm through a horse has inspired me. I’ve started training to become a PATH-certified instructor, whereby I can share this connection with children less privileged.
By becoming an ambassador for the Horses for Mental Health campaign, I hope more children and families can experience the healing, confidence, and happiness that horses have given me throughout my life.
