Synopsis
Monty Roberts is a real-life horse whisperer -- an American original whose gentle training methods reveal the depth of communication possible between man and animal. He can take a wild, high-strung horse who has never before been handled and persuade that horse to accept a bridle, saddle, and rider in 30 minutes. His powers may seem like magic, but his amazing 'horse sense' is based on a lifetime of experience. Roberts started riding at the age of two, and at the age of 13 he went alone into the high deserts of Nevada to study mustangs in the wild. What he learned there changed his life forever. In The Man Who Listens to Horses, he tells about his early days as a rodeo rider in California, his violent horse-trainer father, who was unwilling to accept Monty's unconventional training methods, his friendship with James Dean, his struggle to be accepted in the professional horse-training community, and the invitation that changed his life -- to demonstrate his method of join-up to the Queen of England. From his groundbreaking work with horses, Roberts has acquired an unprecedented understanding of nonverbal communication, an understanding that applies to human relationships as well. He has shown that between parent and child, employee and employer (he's worked with over 250 corporations, including General Motors, IBM, Disney, and Merrill Lynch), and abuser and abused, there are forms of communication far stronger than the spoken word and that they are accessible to all who will learn to listen.

    The title tells the story

    As a retired Nationally Certified K9 trainer I was impressed by the content. The author speaks about learning from the horses he’s been exposed to. I feel strongly about that and learned from the dogs I was trained. Also his techniques brought him to Buckingham Palace and working with the Queens horses. I highly recommend this book for people who are interested in non violent training. Spend more time responding to positive behavior then the negative and see the results. Also watch the interactions between Dogs or Horses in the pack or heard and learn to read their responses and moods.

    The book kept my 9 year old interested. She loved it.

    I bought this for my 9 year old daughter who loves horses. The book kept her interest and she would tell me everything she learned about horse behavior in the book.

    The Astonishing Real Horse Whisperer

    This autobiography by Monty Roberts is a fascinating (and sometimes heart-breaking) look into the life a man who devoted all his skill and energy to making a better life for horses, and the people who own them. What a feeling of admiration for this amazing human being. Loved the connection with Queen Elizabeth II, wow that experiences came from that. I plan to read it again soon.
