Carlos was an excellent trainer of all types of circus horses and believe he started as onne of the Rhoda Royal horse people. He would have a remarkle career with alot of shows including Ringling, but especially on Sparks and Downie. Liberty, high school, specialty and jumping horses along with his wife, Etta. He did the great limping horse "drama scene" in the concert on Downie and in later years would show up various times with Mills Bros. and ended his career and passing on while working for Hollywood horse trainer, Glenn Randall. He was a quiet unassuming nice little fellow and one of very few Mexican horse trainers of those times.
