Back when I worked with my horses , I thought I was the only one that thought working with them was so simple , if you use your brains - now I know there's at least two of us that know whats possible when you communicate with them correctly. Gr8 video.
To; Monty Roberts. I just watched your video 1 thru 4 and I really enjoyed it very much. I'm a tough old biker and you brought tears to my eyes.. Your a good souled man. Helping those kids and horses in the patient way you do is amazing...
I remember my paternal grandfather's farm animals loved him, especially his cows. They responded to his gentle affection towards them and his respect for them.
u r the most amaxing man I have ever seen ,I am very scared of horses but I love watching them ,I bet the foster kids think of u as dad,i helped a young boy who lived next door to me ,he was going the wrong ,way now he is married with 2 kids and owns his own bisness,and he has the respect of many now ,his mother was very greatfull,,your wife must be a great lady god bless u ,u have made my heart smile at last
I read both of his books and seen some videos of his join up method, it has made me cry. I would of been one of those to faint as I was abused growing up. I didn't know about the foster children but I think it's wonderful to take children that most would not foster and give them a new lease and outlook on life. Thanks Monty for doing what you do- You are the most wonderful human being and if people listen to you maybe there is hope for humanity.
You are a great man Monty Roberts, I am a cowboy who owns many horses and we (my sons) & I bring wild horses out of the bush and I use the exact same techniques to subdue these horse we break taught to me by my mentor and father in law, awesome Monty
I really admire the work Monty does and Iso glad that he is passing his knowledge onto other great horsemen such as Dan Wilson to carry on his amazing work. 👍Monty ❤
Monty said some people said this wild mustang was a fluke or an easy one and why he (Monty) had it easy. BUT I say this. When you do your work very well, it always looks easy. I am not a professional dog trainer but have trained all my dogs with somewhat this style and I too raised my boys this way too :-)
I watched all 3 or 4 of these videos back to back..would of watched more too! Monty is absolutely right and knows a horse's character like he was one himself. He has my vote! Being a horse lover myself, I see how everything he says makes absolute sense and if it wasn't for such a traumatic occurrence by his father, he might not have had the deep desire to not hurt one, but speak to the horse's heart. If there is a DVD or Bluesy to buy about this righteous connection to horses, please let me know. And thank you, Monty, for the ability to turn a harmful for life situation, into a beneficial one to include and teach the world.🐴💓
Faye, I hope you know I was just teasing. I totally agree with you. :-) You said listen more than whisper. Reminds me of a phrase-I learn more from listening then talking. When we talk , we already know what we are saying.
Good Video. Monty is a hellava man. Saw him at the Mesquite arena in 2001. He was already well known in the horse world. God gives gifts to some and Monty sure got a dip out of the bucket.
If you read "shy boy" you will come to understand that's it more about people than horses. Glory be to God: I love horses. I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Roberts when he came to Tamworth. NSW. I haven't still realised my dream yet but thanks to his coaching: I will with the grace of God and Mr. Roberts helping me
petronics2454 Ok. I come from the rodeo world. Saw Monty a couple of times. I have been to many clinics and shows from alot of trainers. Glad he has had an impact on you. He does have the masters touch.
You can see Monty Roberts is a True Gentle man.. And regardless of his humbleness, he has this Special Extra thing which is extremely rare.! When You watch this Gentle Man, with such a Loving Soul and you place that Special Extra thing in front of the Ordinary - the Extraordinary Gentleman helps everything fall into place..! The sheer Magnitude of what you’re watching starts to register- a Animal is actually communicating and possibly for the Very First Time with a Human..! Also you can see the Animal is grateful to it’s heart cause of being Understood.. And you can see how truly important it was for Mr. Roberts, after his success with the Mustang Mr. Roberts was all choked up, holding back the tears of Joy and I don’t think the Joy-factor is merely related to the accomplishment-factor but more to the - I was there & I got to watch it happen - oh and My New Friend wasn’t hurt or anything, Oh I am So Happy..!! That’s how it felt watching this remarkable Gentle Man and I am So Grateful coming across this film - it feels like I sneaked into Heaven watch a training film for Angels on the Secrets of God’s Creatures - this has been a gift for me and Thank you, Thank you
Read his book too! It will help a lot! Look up Monty Roberts on Amazon. Look for the book about him growing up and how he learned the techniques. Even how he improved this technique with deer!
I hope that someday in my endeavors I accomplish any small fraction of what this amazing human being has. He is a hero who would almost certainly deny such status.
He looks a little bit like John Wayne :) Wonderful video, wonderful caring man, I salute! And to the lady below that said the world is not ready men with sould like this. Well when are we ready? I totally disagree, what better time, people are changing rapidly, the world is growing more rapidly and such souls are needed to balance nature. Thanks.
In fact it's ONLY mindsets like Monty's that will rescue our planet and save us all from mass death by listening to its needs; hopefully we have finally learned that destroying nature is not the answer to anytihing, and that wisdom for non-human creatures is deep in their DNA. Apparently evolving our human consciousness was a trade-off, and we lost the inherited wisdom of our own species, and then decided it doesn't exist for anyone else either! 🙄
I don't ride horses, but have always had a affinity for them, and love them. One thing is for sure, you have to have gentleness and sensitivity, and must understand, that they are very sensitive & highly intelligent. They react to kindness. And yet they are so often abused, It does make me cry when I hear or see that. How for example, walking horsesm are brutally whipped. I frankly do not like horse racing. These horses do not live long after they are through racing, are sent to slaughter houses, or are neglected. You are one of the rarest kindest human being. I very much enjoyed watching your video. I am glad I came across your wonderful video. .
+Adele Zierler , If you want to see kindness, google Fredric Pignon, or The Flying Frenchman, or Imke Spilker. Also Sally Swift, Linda Tellington Jones, ....It is amazing what can be done with horses when you care about THEM more than you care about yourself.
I wish I can learn this “gentling” and apply it to the horses at my local animal shelter. We get a few of them and a lot of them are not handled, some don't even seem to trust humans so they just stay there in their little pins hoping to get adopted for a $100. How I wish I can learn this! But I don't even have a horse to try this with and an amateur going to a semi wild horse is a death sentence for the amateur.
Michelle R. Dear lady. Volunteer for the horse 🐴. Follow the videos. Learn with the horse. It will work. Then train the new owner BEFORE they take it home. I can be done. Good luck.🍀
Respect that is earned will last for ever Respect that’s imposed is called fear and will do more damage than good Mr Roberts is living proof that this rule applies to everyone not just horses I take my hat 🎩 off to mr Roberts
It is sensational that he did this. I still hold to the belief that there is too much force used. So what if it takes a lot longer. I believe he is doing a whole lot better than his father did, and I give him a lot of credit for that. I also believe that there are still kinder ways than using whips and spurs on horses. I have been training for over 40 years. I used to do things this way,but have found kinder, more considerate ways to partner up with a horse. It takes a lot longer, but the horse appreciates it so much more. Horses need to be given the chance to say "NO" once in a while, and have the human acknowledge it. I have found that the more I allow the horse to say no to simple things, the more anxious they are to say yes after understanding that you care enough to let them have a say. Safety first at all times, reward the horse for every little "try", understand when to say we've done enough, and be honest, trustworthy, and true to your word.
Many people who have cats are living with animals that are essentially wild. But, I once had a cat who was entirely trusting of me and she was completely open to training. I was able to teach her to come, to never go certain places like the counter tops, and to walk with me. Once she became smeared with horse manure and she allowed me to place her into a bathtub of water to cleanse her. Cats are not noted for readily taking to water. But she trusted me and in a moment when she was in great trouble, she trusted I wanted only to help. I have to believe it is the same with horses. If they believe you are well disposed to them, they will trust and accept your lead.
monty i feel the need to tell you this i was a dog trainer for around ten years and i had a program that i put my dogs on eg ( force fetch ) was a program to make the dog to understand the word fetch and what its meaning was i would take a 16 foot bench put a line a bove it running with the bench i would put the dog on the with a choke collar on with a lead running up to the line then i would tie a string to its toes on one paw then stand in front of the dog and say fetch as i did that i would pull on the string and yes the dog would open its mouth because it was yelping then i would put the dummy in its mouth and if he dropped it pull on string till i got it back in mouth and so on i am sure you get the idea then i retired from the dog trials and doing dogs for duck hunters then i got winston he is a 15 yr black lab and i didnt do any of my training with him i never yelled or laied a hand on him i sat him down and explained to him is wrong when he did them and warded him when done good and i tell you he his so loyal and fun and the respect i get from him is unbelievable i wont have him much longer but he showed me a new way of training and i believe it can be done with anything just like u have figured out oh i have to tell you i have a horse i got him when he was three he is eight now i wish i knew about you then i got him now i feel things are going to be looking better for him and i now u have showed me alot about horsemenship if i only knew it sooner but i got it now so it is time to applly it and i will let you know how it turns out and yes i know its me and not the horse i just hope that i can bring him to understand that i can be his leader and i can protect him and that i love him and will care for him 110%more last thing i like to say wish the world was full of man like you how beautiful it would be by the way i am 52yrs if you were wondering lol maybe not these are the worse thing to write on but anyways thank so very much for sharing and god bless
I still don't like horse racing, and Monty Roberts is doing his best. I want to know where the horses are going to after they are finished racing. I will watch the other names you have mentioned. Thank you!
I can't speak for all, but i do know that programs are out there to rehabilitate retired race horses and retain them for new careers. Some even tale into account if racing just isn't a horses thing and change to training for other disciplines. I'm glad to day a good friend of mine is a part of this and puts what's best for the horse ahead of what forcing the horse to "do the job it was born for" so to speak.
For years I asked my teachers "what is the horse thinking". They said not to think that way. I wish I could have learned from someone like Monty before I was badly bitten by an overused horse. I've never been near a horse again.
Rick P I know you're probably just being facetious, but good communication and "training" are two different things. The goal of "training" is obedience, while the goal of "communication" is understanding. I prefer to think that a good relationship is one between equals, where understanding is key.
+Akuinnen24 And the same goes for horses. In this video the horse is never given a chance to say NO. It is pursued relentlessly, til it is so tired it has to give in. And when it fights back it is tied up by ropes to another horse. it has no chance to express itself without being totally restrained. if you want to have a conversation with a horse, you have to listen, more than whisper.
Back when I worked with my horses , I thought I was the only one that thought working with them was so simple , if you use your brains - now I know there's at least two of us that know whats possible when you communicate with them correctly. Gr8 video.
Whew! Who could watch this and not be deeply, DEEPLY moved?
Thank you again, Matrix0xirtaM. One of the best hours I've ever spent on the internet.
Great great man! Ignorance will be a thing of the past because of this man. Thank you Monty.
To; Monty Roberts.
I just watched your video 1 thru 4 and I really enjoyed it very much.
I'm a tough old biker and you brought tears to my eyes..
Your a good souled man.
Helping those kids and horses in the patient way you do is amazing...
I remember my paternal grandfather's farm animals loved him, especially his cows. They responded to his gentle affection towards them and his respect for them.
u r the most amaxing man I have ever seen ,I am very scared of horses but I love watching them ,I bet the foster kids think of u as dad,i helped a young boy who lived next door to me ,he was going the wrong ,way now he is married with 2 kids and owns his own bisness,and he has the respect of many now ,his mother was very greatfull,,your wife must be a great lady god bless u ,u have made my heart smile at last
I read both of his books and seen some videos of his join up method, it has made me cry. I would of been one of those to faint as I was abused growing up. I didn't know about the foster children but I think it's wonderful to take children that most would not foster and give them a new lease and outlook on life. Thanks Monty for doing what you do- You are the most wonderful human being and if people listen to you maybe there is hope for humanity.
If there were more people like this guy the world would be a whole hell of a lot better off
This is SOO not just about horses...great stuff!!
You are a great man Monty Roberts, I am a cowboy who owns many horses and we (my sons) & I bring wild horses out of the bush and I use the exact same techniques to subdue these horse we break taught to me by my mentor and father in law, awesome Monty
Beautiful to watch, well done my friend, empathy and compassion in action.
the fainting is fascinating. there's something to be explored there
I really admire the work Monty does and Iso glad that he is passing his knowledge onto other great horsemen such as Dan Wilson to carry on his amazing work.
👍Monty ❤
he's so passionate about his work

Just awesome, so appreciated this story......!!
i read his book about this experience following shy boy. these tecniques definately translate to people. most impressive.
amazing man... he inspires me so much x

Remarkable man, a wonderful technique.
simply amazing...
you tube thank you very much for subtitle this video
It is Monty...he had the eyes to see how horses think and respond!
The world isn't ready for men and women with souls like this. So beautiful
what dose that mean?
Read his book too! It will help a lot!
Look up Monty Roberts on Amazon.
Look for the book about him growing up and how he learned the techniques. Even how he improved this technique with deer!
equarg Read “Shy Boy”.

Struggled with Hazel today. She doesn't want to be caught. Now I have some more ideas. I didn't know about the 1/4 mile flee space.
I hope google and RUclips gets this.......this is THE best series of video to grace the internet
really impressive man. Anyone can be an armchair quarterback and say "gosh I would have done it this way" but he really made it work
Awseome great job.u made a remarkable history .🙏🐴

Love Mr. Monty! He taught my daughter to get her Palomino to join up, then to dance with. A beautiful sight.
More information on Shy Boy, please.
You are the best, no other words

The racing industry is now killing horses left and right. Is it possible to have your organization work to save these horses?

We adore your discovery from Pakistan ❤️
Monty...I think it was Einstein who said...THOSE WHO BELIEVE THERE IS NO NEED FOR PROOF...THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE THERE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH PROOF!
I wonder what horses do when they feel an itch from a bug, or they won't feel itches.
I love your videos do you still have the mustang and what's his name
fainting ? ! c'mon now
I can tell you another way, let me know if you want to hear it.
yvonneost12 let's hear it
How did he placed the buckles.....he didn't showed that
I still don't like horse racing, and Monty Roberts is doing his best. I want to know where the horses are going to after they are finished racing. I will watch the other names you have mentioned. Thank you!

monty is not the horse whisperer - the movie produced by Robert Redford was based on Buck Brannaman not Monty Roberts.
one more thing, does this method work on training a woman?
Rick P I know you're probably just being facetious, but good communication and "training" are two different things. The goal of "training" is obedience, while the goal of "communication" is understanding. I prefer to think that a good relationship is one between equals, where understanding is key.
+Rick P hahahaha, Not on THIS woman my friend...I was asked once if I were trainable. I never did see that man again....
