"I've been interested for some time in the methods of natural horsemanship — observing the animal's instincts, knowing the way he communicates and inventing a language half animal and half human. I've spent a lot of time finding a way we can 'speak' with each other, not when I am on his back, but when our bodies are side by side. Once I got to control 'the calling' — meaning when you call the horse and he comes — it began a sort of elastic game, a back and forth. Then the circus training makes a very fragile mixture with all this, because if you want to perform a concrete exercise you must practice and repeat it time and again until it is set — if we want Bonito to do a Spanish step, Bonito must strengthen his muscles and learn to concentrate, so we must rehearse every day. But over that there's the character of the horse, what he likes or not and in what mood he's in during the show... So we leave him his space. Bonito is actually a lazy horse, he really loves laying down on the ground with me."
