Dear Horse World, It's Cristóbal Scarpati: The Barefoot Path of Indigenous Horsemanship of Argentina

The connection you're longing for with your horse might not come from doing more—but from doing less.

In this episode, Argentinian horseman Cristóbal Scarpati introduces doma india, an ancestral form of liberty training where trust, presence, and emotional clarity matter more than tools or technique.

Raised in a family of master horsemen and now teaching globally alongside his son, Perito, Cristóbal brings a rare blend of wisdom, humility, and heart to the conversation.

Whether you've never heard of doma india or you've been searching for a more intuitive, soulful path with your horse, this episode will open your eyes to what's possible—without ropes, tools, or force.

You'll walk away with:

A powerful understanding of doma india and its cultural roots Insight into how emotional regulation impacts connection Practical shifts to bring more trust and freedom into your horsemanship A deeper sense of belonging to something timeless, respectful, and real This is horsemanship as a relationship—not a method.

Cristóbal's book that he would read to the Horse World - Mi alma de Caballo - Oscar Scarpati
