He’s a real horse whisperer.

Argentinean Martin Tatta has taken horse training to new limits, developing such a close bond with the animals that he can get them to do whatever he wants with just a little coaxing.

The 32-year-old, who entertains thousands of tourists a year with his skills, is able to do things few horse tamers would even dream of, including getting his most trusted mare, Primavera, to roll onto her back so that he can sit on her stomach.

Amazingly, it only takes Tatta a year to train each horse, reports the Daily Mail. He currently keeps 32 horses, six of which he uses in shows, at Estancia La Bamba de Areco.

While he’s entirely self-taught, Tatta grew up around the animals on the ranch his parents worked on in San Antonio de Areceo, a town in the northern region of Buenos Aires province.
