Monty Roberts is a real-life horse whisperer-an American original whose gentle "Join-Up" training method reveals the depth of communication possible between human and animal. He's sold six million books, is friends with the Queen of England, and is idolized by generations of horse lovers.
Monty can take a wild, high-strung horse who has never been handled and persuade that horse to accept a saddle, and rider in thirty minutes. His powers seem like magic, but his amazing “horse sense” is based on a lifetime of non-violent training experience.
Monty's exceptional insight into nonverbal communication applies to human relationships as well. He's shown the world the benefit of creating trust-based partnerships in horse-human and human-human relationships.
Host Laurie Hood recently spoke to Monty at his ranch in Solvang, California where he shared reflections of his life as one of the world's most passionate and important animal rights protectors

i grew up in Wyoming, and the standard training method was to catch them, tie them short, saddle them up and get on. Turn them loose and buck them out. I had an Arabian that I got cheap, he scared people. I stumbled on Monty's book, The Man Who Listens to Horses, read it cover to cover in one day. Went out and tried his methods on the Arab, whose name, incidentally, was Monty, and it worked just as he said it would. I have never looked back, this man knows what he is talking about. I just wish more people would listen.

Wonderful interview of a wonderful man! Loved watching it! From when I was 6 to when I was 16 horses were my life. Unfortunately I did not have a mentor like Monty. I can't say how much I wish I had. Horse training in my life involved force and submission rather than understanding and persuasion. As I have watched many videos illustrating Monthy's methods I have at times found tears running down my cheeks I've been so moved. "So that's what that horse was thinking 60 years ago!” I think to myself. And that is is how I should have responded!" God bless Monty and others like him to teach us all how to,think and change.

10:PM NYC, NY, NOV 1, '23. I used to be heavily into horseback riding more than 35 years ago and now that I'm retired, I hope to get back into shape enough to be riding again. I bought and read Monty's first book decades ago and it was always a pleasure to watch him on KZfaq and it still is now. (But something I 've always wondered if he could train those untrainable Australian wild horses. But more importantly could he train a Zebra?!

My granddaughter is 9 and she has so much love and respect for animals. I will be watching these videos and reading about this amazing man's life with her, so she can have the knowledge of his work with horses. She is wanting a horse, I've bought the land and the next step probably will be looking for a horse, who knows maybe more than one.

I started about 50 young wild Camargue (South France) stallions at the age of 3 after the JoinUp method successfully, respecting the philosophy of horsemanship. They turned within a week from a frightened horse towards humans with the branding experience, never been outside the herd up to now, to a trustfull companion, accepting bridle and saddle, to give way to mental and physical pression and to follow the trainer at liberty. Even leaving outside the group to great me to say, hello, like asking me what to do together today. Moments of tears in my eyes.

I just started therapy with a horse for PTSD. It's true they heal so much and it's only been a month. I did learn to not trust and I learned to not feel any emotions. Peppa is a gift from God to me to help me learn to trust and feel as He feels. I want to cry every time I have to leave and wait another week to go.

Had the pleasure of meeting Monty he was here in England at the Agricultural College. He was with the Queens Equerry Terry u may have seen Terry at Queens funeral with her favourite pony Emma. Monty was doing a demonstration and filming a BBC programme. I and 2 friends sat and spoke to him for a while. They say never meet your heroes well Monty was a gentleman and the advice he gave me was so right for my horse. Our Queen had all her horses broken the Monty way she loved his connection to the horse. I will never forget that day and i want to say thankyou Monty for the work u have done to improve the way horses are started and for the empathy u show them. U r my hero for sure.

I'm so glad to hear that Monty is on the side of the horses, and getting it out there that the Big Lick is an entire industry built on horse abuse! What he mentioned is true, they sore the fetlocks in addition to stacks and chains, but it was just the tip of the ice berg. The forced gait puts a heavy strain on hips, hind legs, fetlocks, which always leads to permanent damage. They cut tendons in the tail to make the tail sit high. Their riders almost always are way too big, don't know how to ride properly and the saddle is too far back. Its just abuse, and the industry is so insular they won't enforce changes to protect horses.

When Monty explains how James Dean couldn't play the game of greeting people and all the niceties that involves, that resonates with me. I can never be like everyone else when I meet people, even if I know them. Its taken decades to accept there is nothing wrong with feeling that way. There are human greeting rituals that make life easier for others that I struggle with and I've given up trying to fit an impossible mould.

Just watching and listening to him you can tell he is a very calm and patient individual. Horses are very perceptive. They wouldn't be willing to work with him if he were violent. Watch the animals around him. They're the best judges of character.

Yep. If I have to watch him 'amaze' a crowd by using several thousand dollars worth of fence panels to get a horse into a trailer or put a manikin in a saddle and run it around in circles one more time, I'm going to throw up.

@margaretlally9747 2 жыл бұрын

@@user-bx7nw1ve6y I've ridden and owned horses for over 50 yrs. The panels you refer to are there for safety purposes for everyone, especially the horse. He's a very large animal who has a fear of trailers (its not that unusual). If he spooked he could bolt and run and possibly injure himself. Those panels are there for a very good reason. And a mannequin? I've yet to see that video. I haven't seen all of Monty's videos. Perhaps it exists...IDK. Does it matter? What I've seen Monty accomplish is pretty remarkable and impressive. I think the guy knows what he's doing. But most of all it's the horses that believe Monty knows what he's doing. That's why they're so willing. Just my opinion.....
