Monty Roberts: Real Horse Whisperer

Buy This Item Monty Roberts: Real Horse Whisperer by 20th Century Fox  Available from Amazon  $14.98  on 10-9-2008     Even as a child in the horse world, Monty Roberts was uncomfortable with the conventional method of breaking, or training, a horse. He competed in rodeos for 22 years, all the while searching for a better way. Eventually, he learned it from the horses themselves. By watching wild mustangs, Roberts was able to identify some of their body language and apply it himself. A good portion of this 48-minute video is devoted to Roberts demonstrating his "whispering" technique on a mustang separated from the herd. His mission: to get the wild horse to accept a saddle and rider within the space of a few days--without force. Of course, he is successful. But knowing the outcome doesn't diminish the exhilaration of watching the dance between wild animal and gentle conqueror. Roberts used some of the same principles in raising his 3 children and more than 40 foster children and now teaches his method to corporate management groups. <I>--Kimberly Heinrichs</I> Reader Reviews I have bought/studies different methods of Natural horsemanship, from Clinton Anderson, Parelli, John Lyons.... I really liked his simplicity and getting to the most important aspect of enjoying our horses and loving them. I have 3 colts and have done all the exersises to a point where they are programed but lost the real communication that you have when your a kid and are not embarressed to show your feelings and connect as if you were a horse communicating. I grew up around horses as a kid and as an adult (38 yo) we seem to loose that intuition. My hat off to Monty at humbling himself, as other cowboys would never love on their horse like that. In public non the less. My horses have been much more conected with me now and I truly enjoy them and our parnership. Unlike the Slave relationship that horses have had to endure for so long. Monty's educational background in Phycology has brought him far and his antilitical concepts help us see what others have ignored.I have read his books. You don't have to be a whiz that something so simple works so effective. He has been around far longer than all these young guy's. He has far more popularity in Europe. I think he breaks tradition so much here some have a predudice against him. Too bad so many are stuck in that Mancho image.
