I read "The Man Who Talks to Horses" many years ago, and used his techniques and understanding of horse temperament to work with my mare. I live down the road from Solvang, and about fifteen or so years ago I stopped with a friend at Monty's "Flag Is Up" farm, and we were lucky to witness one of his "join up" sessions and it was miraculous. It took place in a covered round pen with a viewing area from around and above. We joined a group of trainees from Europe to watch the session. The horse was a young mustang from the annual BLM cull and the most they'd been able to do was get a halter on him. A trainer was in the pen with him, using nothing but a long length of rope, and within 35 minutes, that horse was following that guy around, then he put a saddle/bridle on him with only one little buck when he tightened the girth, then he slowly introduced weight in the stirrup before getting onboard. One little buck, and within another five minutes he was riding that horse around the pen and even reining in figure eights.

I learned of Monty by chance! Searching online for something totally unrelated to horses brought up a video of him gentling a previously-unridden horse. I was hooked! His technique is mesmerizing to watch, and brings tears to my eyes. I look forward to seeing this!

I was lucky enough to see Monty at Carlisle, UK, many years ago. Just marvelous the interaction he has with every horse he comes into contact with. I will certainly be watching this film. Well done to all concerned.

I had the honor and pleasure of training with Monty for a week and it was a beautiful experience. What a wise wise gentleman. I still can't figure out what could possibly be controversial about his methods. Horses are special animals and deserve special treatment.❤❤❤❤

The Windsor horse show aka tatoo is a global event. They come from around the world to show off their horses. Her late Majesty loved her horses, like her dogs. I was there in 2009 and if there was any report of maltreatment. They could not attend. The Royal Horse Show.

They ARE flocking to his methods! You reported that part wrong. And I'm happy to say so. Thank goodness people are paying attention
