The Man Who Talks To Horses: Monty Roberts

2021/09/06

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. That's all because 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. Here are a few excerpts; reflections from one of the World's most passionate and important animal rights protector.
