S1 Ep4: Monty Roberts - His Timeless Legacy as a Real-Life Horse Whisperer

[@mikewyd53]

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.

[@suemaher5282]

Well said Mike he understands the horse and he definitely helped me funny enough with an Arab. The round pen is used all around the world with join up now he changed so much in the horse world.

[@jenniferdavies5674]

I love and admire this man a true hero

[@PaulaS-jd9ts]

A truly valuable interview. I was privileged to see Monty in action at one of his clinics. The Join-Up method was a jaw-dropping revelation that I shall never forget. Thanks Monty! Thanks Laurie!

[@jontnoneya3404]

Beautiful! LOVE Mr. Roberts and what he's done for so many people. What a wonderful interview. Thank you both!

[@AggieL48]

I read Monty’s Whisperer book years ago, and it informed me re animals in general .

[@gwentofanelli2977]

I love Monty Roberts, he's one of the greatest trainers in the world. Even worked for Queen Elizabeth, must be in his early 80's now. He was from California. Worked for Don Dodge in Sacramento. Ranch is gone, houses replaced it.75 northern California 🐎🪶

What an incredibly insightful human being and amazing trainer and man, much respect👍🍻🙏

[@dennismanuel6156]

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 KZbin 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?!

[@2qlrn273]

A Zebra would never be happy doing what a horse is desired to do, other than being free. So, there'd be no point, IMO.

[@anncharlottevaarala1229]

Monty Roberts is a real life HERO. I had the privelige to see and meet him in Las Vegas more than 20 years ago... A meeting that I will never forget.🐎🤠🩷

[@MrFlamants]

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.

[@MiddletonHorsemanship]

Great Interview, Agree with all, Inspirational

[@boatman222345]

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.

[@suemaher5282]

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.

[@haleynixt4924]

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.

[@margaretlally9747]

. Sometimes just being in the world with horses is enough. They are amazing and wonderful. Such gentle power. I owe my horses everything.

[@DASands1]

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.

[@cliffowens3629]

I'd love to be able to mind meld with him and download all his horse knowledge into my brain. I'm fostering an abuse case palomino QH mare ex rodeo mount that I have liken her to a bomb with a smoldering lit short fuse. I teased to the surface the sweetness she hid down deep in order to survive, but it took several years.

[@Plantsandtoyhorses]

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.

[@jessicacapella5989]

I've used your methods for years from the first time I watched one of your clinics at the age of 10 years old. I'm now 31yrs old and plan to show my kids your beautiful ways. I hope one day I can follow a herd of wild mustangs and learn even more.

I met Monty in Salem Oregon fairgrounds 25 years ago. Ive worked with rescue Llamas for years. Monty & I talked about what I do with Llamas & I told him that he was doing what I’d been doing with Llamas. He asked if it worked, We talked for many hours that evening. Laurie, I’ll be contacting you soon,as I now live in Florida Ken P.

Love this! 💯❤. You are such a special person!! So true that we get so much more with kindness!!!❤❤🐎🐎🐎

[@caroletalktings]

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.

[@suemaher5282]

Carole who wants to be like everyone else u r unique. Took me alot of time to work that out. Celebrate being the diamond in the rough. Seasons greetings to u and your family from London

[@trickedouttech321]

Are these videos old? Because today this method is the most common method of horse training today. In fact, I don't know any trainers using old methods. I do know a few that are abusive with the new method but that is it.

[@marypapak5759]

What a lovely man!!❤️

[@onion6foot]

I am trying to recall the publishing mogel that Monty wrote about- who wanted to destroy all his horses rather than to let anyone else have them. Really a depraved man.

Monty Roberts is the greatest horse trainer that ever existed but it is very difficult to replicate his methods because you need to have lot of knowledge about horses language.

[@gerrycoleman7290]

But once you get it, things fall right in place.

[@lulumoon6942]

I suspect there have been many great horsemen and women throughout the millennia who have intuitively and then culturally used similar methods, but without the scientific explanations. Our connection with horses is primal. ❤️🐴💞

I read his book and thought he was amazing too.Then I read a book written by his aunty and cousin, Horse Whispers and Lies and they discredit Monty big time. He was never abused and has been to cruel to horses and people himself.His dad was a very kind man and was a master natural/gentle horse trainer where Monty learnt his training.Even Monty's brother discredits him.Monty is cunning at manipulating and fooling people

[@margaretlally9747]

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.

[@user-bx7nw1ve6y]

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]

@@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.....
