@Tony Ashford that isnt a toy, it's called a jockey saddle. jockeys are people who race horses, if you didnt know. that type of saddle is specifically made small so the horse doesnt carry as much weight, and goes faster. you just learnt something new! :) (sorry for my bad grammar, i'm not english )
sean ranklin jr unfortunately many people force horses into doing sports they don’t like. They force these wonderful creatures by whipping them💔 I wish more people were like Mr. Roberts:(
@@yalikejazz3966 Horses don't like doing ANY work. Left to their own they would sit in the pasture all day and eat. You don't need to beat them, but there's nothing wrong with asking them to do something they don't like.
I love horses, in fact I'm riding later today, but humans are created in God's image and are not animals, despite what some men with diplomas who hate God will tell you.
regardless if you are lunging or sending away, both give the same message to the horse which is adding pressure to move forward & move those feet. The mare did not "give up", if she had done that, she would not be seeking him out as a leader & following his every move. She realized that he wasn't going to hurt her & showed him that she wanted to play nice with him. Horses prefer when things are easy, having a pecking order & leadership.
I was at one of his demonstrations like this but with a frightened horse. When the horse teamed up and followed him, it was so beautiful and sweet it made me cry. I love these gentle equine souls so much.
He watched the Herd Mares how they'd call in or push away horse they'd want to either discipline or include in the herds. Shoulder positions towards or away from the subjects.
Just in case anyone is interested. l am Corona's owner and attended Monty Roberts clinic at Gleneagles and confirm that she had never had a saddle, bridle or rider before this video. Monty was truly connected with her from start to finish and had never met her, let alone worked with her before that day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Monty. Xx
@@carolineramage7480 your question embodies a broken, selfish, and soulless person - no - horses are not meant to be ridden - that is a burden people have put on horses - and I could continue to answer the question but that would be an utter waste of energy here
This is great!This man is amazing he's not using whips he's just using a lead rope.Unlike Clinton Anderson he doesn't force the horses to gallop around and whip them.This man is amazing.
@@ls7977 Watch more of his videos and try to get a better understanding of what he is doing. At no point does he strike the horse. He tosses the rope at it, there is no force behind it and no pain caused to the horse, just a surprise and annoyance.
I don’t know anything about horses, but I feel love for this man just watching his gentle interaction with the horse. What a beautiful person and you can just feel it in your heart while you watch him. I grew up with no grandpa... well... I wish THIS guy was my gramps 😛 his family is lucky to have him... and so are the horses 😊
Saif-Allah Nadeem no it isn’t. Mute the video and watch it again. He is very aggressive towards the horse and if you can’t see that than that says a lot about you.
This handling technique still amazes me every time I see it and has to be the best method out there. It proved invaluable when working with an untouchable pony I took on. It really works and was brilliant to learn.Much happier horses!
Wonderful. I have been using Monty's method on my remedial mare since I bought her six years ago. She was only six months old and afraid of everything I have seen her go from a wild horse to a gentle little mare. All because of montys method. She will always have issues because of the abuse she went through BUT by using this method she will continue to progress to be the horse she can be. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
I finally read "The Horse Whisperer," and (1) the guy actually used harsh methods, stuff antithetical to the philosophy expressed in this video; and (2) as literature, the novel was truly awful; can't imagine why it sold so well.
@Beverly Wilcox The Horse Whisperer is a novel written by Nicholas Evans. I wrote The Man Who Listens to Horses, my autobiography www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-679-45658-2
Have broken in horses myself that we breed on our own property years ago, many people were impressed and wanted me to work on their horses as a kid I really didn't see this as a real job, wish I had. 15 years after leaving the farm I still had people asking me to help them, just recently with Covid I have been watching horse educating videos, so far everything I have seen is so similar to how I was taught by some really talented horsemen. So far every trainer I have watched gets the same results from slightly different methods which are basically the same, from what I have seen while impressed with all Monty's way is the closest to how I was taught, but all are great to watch and learn from. I like Monty's presence with the horse very gentle.
I remember watching Monty Roberts years ago when I was around 12-14yrs old. I am 23 now and I’ve started back studying on training horses and I’ve been looking for his videos for three days straight. I for some reason could not remember his name so I typed stuff in RUclips like, breaking a horse without harming it and etc. today I’ve finally found him and I’m glad. I’m fixing to go back and re-watch all the videos, put them in a playlist and also try to never forget his name. Thank you for broadcasting your works! I will aim to train every horse I own in the future the same way you train horses. Good bless you!
And deer and children too according to some of the experiences in his book. The basic premise being the troublesome ones are driven out of the pack and excluded from being with the others until they see from afar the rest having fun and then they edge back towards them, head bowed and tail between their legs when wanting to be welcomed back into the group, knowing that if they are allowed to then they can't start causing trouble again.
Wellll.. Without the saddle yes. Being able to learn the language of the animal is paramount to working with them rather than they simply obeying our commands. I was loose leash training with my dogs and they are well mannered and always walk off leash. They listen and work with me because they can trust the commincation that we have together. So much adverse behaviour is predicated on a miscomprehesion of intent and action on our part.
I'm not that surprised. Humans and dogs are pack oriented. And oddly enough, even if we ourselves are human, language changes the game. Children are only just learning and babies can't communicate clearly. I'd think with any animal or person, showing them that something new isn't scary or painful is key in gaining trust. I work with cats at a shelter. A lot of them are just terrified little cinnamon buns, some are very much "I will kill you and I'm terrified" with both, the important thing is to create an experience involving you, with typical sounds, smells and sights they can expect in their lives, making sure all experiences are neutral to positive in best case. Positive conditioning is the best way to do anything. Heck, even if you're trying to teach yourself a new behavior. Giving rewards for completing and trying things you want to do is far better than punishment. Punishment breeds fear and distrust.
Just rode my gelding, Toby, for the first time in two years. We did this method, I watched the signs my horse gave me and we did join up! Even though we didn't do much except walk, it made our first ride in a while enjoyable for both of us.
I love how he doesn't let the horse over step and Monty stays in control the entire time but is not abusive and completely understanding of each horse's needs. Honestly the best horse trainer I've ever seen.
Monty is such an amazing human being who is making such an important contribution to humanity by teaching people how to live and even work in harmony with horses/animals not dominate and exploit them .This is such an important evolution.Much love and kudos to Monty Roberts!
My Dad was a firm believer in Monty Roberts and after he received his first horse, a foal of out my BLM mustang Rena (foal was a surprise that only Rena and I knew about but no one believed us (:...), Dad bought every book and video he could find and after starting a number of others horses using MR methods Dad considered himself a "horse whisperer" and everyone would call him when they had a young horse, a green horse, an untrainable horse, a problem horse. Up until a few weeks before Dad passed away he was still singing the praises of MR. Dads horse Cheyenne? Well he gave her to the people who Dad gave all of her babies too. Cheyennes momma Rena, my mare? She's enjoying just being horse although she did experience a major loss three days ago. Her best friend, my mare Daelite, was laid down after having owned me for two weeks shy of 23 years. Rena is 21 now, and she's owned me 19 years. UPDATE: My Rena I had to lay down in 2017 due to severe allergies. Seven grasses in NY she was allergic to five along with barn dust and cockroaches😵🤧😟😳🥺😭 (aren't we all?). I tried everything for her even down to allergy shots. The decision to lay her down only became absolutely necessary when in the Spring of 2017, with snow still in the ground, and temperatures were close to 70 and she started heaving so bad it hurt me to watch her. Rena was my joy but if I were to ever adopt a mustang again I would make sure the horse came from a state that was similar to NYS for grasses because she was born in a desert state, Elko Valley Nevada, she never had a chance at being a normal horse as much as I tried and wanted her to be a happy, healthy, "normal" horse. I always learn from my owners, my Daelite taught me how to bring a horse back from the brink of starvation and Rena taught me how to observe for any breathing issues, founder and unusual feeding requirements especially when it comes to feeding a horse with allergies.
Sorry for your loss. Those who don't know horses don't get that the great bonds that can be formed through love and understanding are so tight that to lose one partner - horse or human - can be devastating to both sides. Those horses lucky enough to have been "owners" of gentle, understanding humans can grieve too. And they can grieve when they lose their long-term best horse buddies. I hope that the parting wasn't too hard on either of you. Bless you for your obvious love for our dearest animal partners. The one thing I choose above all when it comes to horses or dogs - and the occasional cat - is the unconditional love they give us (cat's have servants, not owners ;-) I love cats too btw!). They can teach many a human how to love. I hope your other friend is still with you, given the time that's passed since your post.
I'm an Alex! Or at least my name is Alex, but I have gentled (not broken) many horses in my 5 years of riding. Right now I am riding a 5 yr old Friesian called Nika, and she has already gone to her first show! She is doing very well, despite being typically lazy as Friesians are, she has the most amazing attitude!
I'm so glad that he didn't use a heavy western saddle for the horses first time, that makes me happy (I couldn't tell what saddle it was, I think it's a jocky saddle and I know that those are a light saddle, correct me if I'm wrong)
@@aliceshaw8265 I know that it doesn't harm the horse, but since it was the first time it could've spooked the horse. I'm not trying to sound rude I was just saying
Your welcome Mr. Roberts I saw you on TV some years back and i was so impressed with your ability to connect with these majestic creatures that have their own language llike many other animals , your just so calm and non threatening in anyway what a learned gift from the cruelty you've seen in your early life experiences with what you saw your father do , it shows that no matter our early life negative examples we don't have to copy them if with true interest and desire we can introduce animals to kind and patient interactions !!! Thank you so much for taking on a seriously compassionate manner of approaching the issue of having horses learn to comply willingly to us through kindness and communication , and all the Best from Lynne in Southern Ontario Canada .
Monty...you are absolutely brilliant...thank you for everything you’ve accomplished in helping us better understand these amazing creatures. Mad respect from Virginia 🏆🐴❤️✌️
My biggest inspiration in the world of horses. I've been called crazy and an ''unexperienced rider'', but the connection I had with the horses from the ground was something unique. A feeling that I never felt when I followed ''the rules''. Thank you Monty Roberts, for learning me how to learn their language!
Beautiful. I notice that the horse is very well groomed; I think a lot was done to establish trust before this moment. Love the "colt starting" saddle - a light english saddle with a grab bar. Seems like a western saddle "night latch" (loop of braided rawhide) would be safer than a metal bar for both the horse and rider in case the horse rears and goes over backwards.
I have so much respect for this guy. He is so gentle with this horse. He really knows what he's doing. And knows natural horsemanship, and horse body language. He never shipped her, hit her, or scared her on purpose.
Since the novel : "The horse whisperer", I was completely bewitched by monty roberts and his join up. When I ride and i can do this jion up, I'm so happy, I could be cry ! Thank you so much
I'm so happy. I saw 30 mins in the title, and I got worried since usually it's people who break the poor horses spirit, But this is totally not the case. I'm so glad. His method and energy is wonderful
Beautiful subtleties are the key. Love this. Screw the old ways! No "breaking." No, Monty... people can be demons when it comes to treating animals well. You're too kind to us.
I like Monty's method the best. He isn't flashy and showy about his skills and abilities, he gets right to the point without wasting time and breath. He is gentle and accomplishes in a matter of minutes what takes others to do in several days. Other trainers methods have the concepts to varying degrees but in pieces and though they do succeed over time, Monty just tackles whatever problem head on and resolves straight away. I like Monty's no nonsense, no frills approach. After watching 0ther trainers work, I still like Monty's method the best. Monty is a true horse whisperer and I appreciate watching him work.
The way he was so gentle with the horse and understanding that it was uncomfortable for her is amazing. He used a calm tone instead of making the horse nervous. He calmed her just using a gentle tone and hand. He is truly AMAZING!😊
This was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I'm a small person, seeing that Mare accept all of that in one session was astonishing and makes me feel better about some day owning my own horse. I want to become a dog and horse behaviouralist & trainer, but being a small person I'm always overlooked & dismissed. Any words of wise?
This guy is great and i have seen his gentle whisper with them and its true , they give trust in their own time and unique way that is clear if you read the signs !!! Ty so much for understanding their own word and body language , its truly amazing !!!
Have to wonder about what a person is thinking when they give a thumbs down to Monty. He has had such a massive positive impact on the horse industry over the years. How can you not love this guy?
It’s almost magical the way he gently gets her used to being saddled and having a person on her. It just goes to show how far love, gentleness, kindness and patience can go with animals.
Mar Roberts you are truly a horse whisperer and you are amazing. Wished when I was young I had someone like you to teach me about horses, I would have had no fear... love these, and I send your videos to all my horse loving friends.
I absolutely love him. The way I have seen other people train horses are disgusting, like Clinton Anderson. Most people order, tell and force the horse to obey and tie them down. This man goes bitless, let’s the horse take its time and so much more. He has so much patience with that horse. It’s outstanding. I’m ligit speechless! Keep up the good work mate Edit: I just saw that he didn’t even use a lunging whip to make the horse as comfortable as possible, he also didn’t use a big saddle pad, putting lots of weight on the horse. He also didn’t put any leg wraps on, he lets the horse feel comfortable as. And when it came to mounting, he didn’t rush it. He took his time on it. I’m literally so surprised, and I came across you just in my recommendations. You have such a special talent with horses. And you didn’t do too much riding on the mare the first time mounted. You earn their respect and trust. The difference between an abused way of training and yours is so much. You literally inspire me so much. I can’t stop watching your vids. You have earned my respect!
Thank you thank you thank you for not using bits! Your horse language is spot on! Totally in tune with the horse. Keep doing what you're doing - you're an amazing man!
This video makes me so happy! You see people tying horses up and not comforting them, taking days for the horse to get used to it but this method is just soooo sweet! :)
That is the most amazing thing I have ever watched. If ever you, anyone reading this, get the chance read Monty Roberts the Man Who Listens to Horses. It is amazing!
This made me so happy seeing this video pop up on my feed! My parents offered me the opportunity to go apprentice with Monty after high school in 2002. That was 17 years ago. For whatever reason I didn’t take it up, even though I was obsessed with wanting to be like him & how he trained horses in such a gentle manner! Hadn’t been searching for anything horse related, so to see this was a welcome surprise to see in my feed 🥰🙏🏻
Love your work, Monty! I read your books and used your methods with my first ever Horse (got hubby up into the saddle), and Pi was as quiet and as willing as this girl
I just left his ranch after being there for 3 days...he is an amazing human being, I personally did a join up with Monty coaching me from outside the pen...such an amazing heart opening experience..
Monty is my hero♥️ ever since I was a little girl, I learned join up… and I have always done it with any of my horses and any other horses I have broken for friends! It is the best way to gain trust. So simple. Thank you Monty ♥️
Because these ideas will help you be a better person and a better nurse. If you read his books he uses the exact same principles with children. Just ignore the idiots who are going to comment about saddling children :)
This was really so beautiful to see a animal becoming a friend and to trust,,,, I loved it,,I know nothing about horses or training or riding but it was so awesome,,,
His training method is great! He never intimidates the horse or hurts it to make it do what he wants. We need more trainers like this, especially when teaching young horses.
I love how this is in my recommended out of nowhere an the horses name is Corona.
Damn we need Monty in here to tame Corona for us all xD

All contentions will lead to a downfall.
I love horses, in fact I'm riding later today, but humans are created in God's image and are not animals, despite what some men with diplomas who hate God will tell you.
finally someone who uses a small saddle rather than the heaviest western saddle they can find for the first time
Monty Roberts is a wonderful person! Makes me so happy to see him work with horses.
This is so true!! Most people put a huge western saddle with loads of ropes and confusing girths and stuff when it’s only the horses first time!
I have no idea why u would use a western saddle to brake a horse if you need to off in fast it very hard to
Because if thats what you’re going to be riding in, why wouldn’t you start with that, they’ll get over it.
Hunter Jordan you definitely can though and the future will be easier because that person knows how to do it.

UPDATE: My Rena I had to lay down in 2017 due to severe allergies. Seven grasses in NY she was allergic to five along with barn dust and cockroaches😵🤧😟😳🥺😭 (aren't we all?). I tried everything for her even down to allergy shots. The decision to lay her down only became absolutely necessary when in the Spring of 2017, with snow still in the ground, and temperatures were close to 70 and she started heaving so bad it hurt me to watch her. Rena was my joy but if I were to ever adopt a mustang again I would make sure the horse came from a state that was similar to NYS for grasses because she was born in a desert state, Elko Valley Nevada, she never had a chance at being a normal horse as much as I tried and wanted her to be a happy, healthy, "normal" horse. I always learn from my owners, my Daelite taught me how to bring a horse back from the brink of starvation and Rena taught me how to observe for any breathing issues, founder and unusual feeding requirements especially when it comes to feeding a horse with allergies.
Sorry for your loss. Those who don't know horses don't get that the great bonds that can be formed through love and understanding are so tight that to lose one partner - horse or human - can be devastating to both sides. Those horses lucky enough to have been "owners" of gentle, understanding humans can grieve too. And they can grieve when they lose their long-term best horse buddies. I hope that the parting wasn't too hard on either of you. Bless you for your obvious love for our dearest animal partners. The one thing I choose above all when it comes to horses or dogs - and the occasional cat - is the unconditional love they give us (cat's have servants, not owners ;-) I love cats too btw!). They can teach many a human how to love. I hope your other friend is still with you, given the time that's passed since your post.
Andria M. Simpson-Russell the fact that only you and the mare knew made me laugh, “see! We told you there was a mini me!”
@Hello Andria M, Nice meeting you, How are you doing?
I had the pleasure to watch Monty work for my birthday and it was the best. Thoroughly enjoyed watching him work.
Where can I get myself an Alex? The way he mounted Corona was so gentle I just would love to ride with him and I bet he is a great instructor too.
I'm an Alex! Or at least my name is Alex, but I have gentled (not broken) many horses in my 5 years of riding. Right now I am riding a 5 yr old Friesian called Nika, and she has already gone to her first show! She is doing very well, despite being typically lazy as Friesians are, she has the most amazing attitude!
Brittany Overy I read "I just would love to ride him"😂😂
I really hope Brittany and Alex get together! ❤
I'm so glad that he didn't use a heavy western saddle for the horses first time, that makes me happy (I couldn't tell what saddle it was, I think it's a jocky saddle and I know that those are a light saddle, correct me if I'm wrong)
yes, its a racing training saddle
@@wiktorialegencka337 okay! Thank you for telling me!
@@aliceshaw8265 I know that it doesn't harm the horse, but since it was the first time it could've spooked the horse. I'm not trying to sound rude I was just saying
It's an English saddle
I aree. I also lunged my horse for a week with a saddle, then added a 100 lb sack of oats and lunged for more days.
No doubt about it, the man's got the "touch".
Monty is amazing. I know him personally. He's the real thing...and the best!
"Dont go away a little, go away a lot" thats amazing 😂♥️
I love this training style
Beautiful..... So harmonious, and no fear or stress.
And such a soothing voice too. You could soothe humans with that voice..Calm but strong. Lovely.
The man is a legend
I've watched Monty for years. This is my most favorite video. I've literally watched it 100+ times haha. I LOVE YOU MONTY!!!!
Thank you, Monty Roberts! For all you've done to help horses and people understand and work with each other. You're my hero! ;)
Meredith Sterling
"The Man Who Listens To Horses" Really enjoyed resding this book. He is a fascinating man, very colorful life. THE REAL DEAL
This man has such talent and gentle strength, it is a beautiful gift! God bless this man!
Happy to have monty teaching or riding horses. It make me have faith in humanity still.
Your welcome Mr. Roberts I saw you on TV some years back and i was so impressed with your ability to connect with these majestic creatures that have their own language llike many other animals , your just so calm and non threatening in anyway what a learned gift from the cruelty you've seen in your early life experiences with what you saw your father do , it shows that no matter our early life negative examples we don't have to copy them if with true interest and desire we can introduce animals to kind and patient interactions !!! Thank you so much for taking on a seriously compassionate manner of approaching the issue of having horses learn to comply willingly to us through kindness and communication , and all the Best from Lynne in Southern Ontario Canada .
Monty...you are absolutely brilliant...thank you for everything you’ve accomplished in helping us better understand these amazing creatures. Mad respect from Virginia 🏆🐴❤️✌️
I feel he's like Bob Ross but with horses
Arrrmyyyy💜
I see yoongi
What a perfect comparison, I felt this
My biggest inspiration in the world of horses. I've been called crazy and an ''unexperienced rider'', but the connection I had with the horses from the ground was something unique. A feeling that I never felt when I followed ''the rules''. Thank you Monty Roberts, for learning me how to learn their language!
Wow
Beautiful. I notice that the horse is very well groomed; I think a lot was done to establish trust before this moment. Love the "colt starting" saddle - a light english saddle with a grab bar. Seems like a western saddle "night latch" (loop of braided rawhide) would be safer than a metal bar for both the horse and rider in case the horse rears and goes over backwards.
Thank you Beverly. The handle is made of stitched leather, nothing metal.
@@MontyChannel Thanks for the clarification, and apologies for the mis-statement. At 3:33, it looked rectangular, but now I see its flexibility.
@@beverlywilcox4349 No worries, always good to see people concerned for the safety of the horse
I have so much respect for this guy. He is so gentle with this horse. He really knows what he's doing. And knows natural horsemanship, and horse body language. He never shipped her, hit her, or scared her on purpose.
This man is a genius my god! He is absolutely incredible!
this man works magic, he is so gentle and genuine with the horse its crazy.
3:04 “Corona! What’s the deal!” My man forecasted the pandemic 7 years before it happened. Great content!
Since the novel : "The horse whisperer", I was completely bewitched by monty roberts and his join up. When I ride and i can do this jion up, I'm so happy, I could be cry ! Thank you so much
I've read both of his books, incredible .... I use all of his methods on my horses, and they work amazingly !!! 😍😍🤗🤗😁
I'm so happy. I saw 30 mins in the title, and I got worried since usually it's people who break the poor horses spirit,
But this is totally not the case. I'm so glad. His method and energy is wonderful
I came to one of your demonstrations during April in Liverpool, best thing I’ve ever watched.
I think it was Monty that wrote the book "men who listen to horses " ABSOLUTELY FASANATING.
Beautiful subtleties are the key. Love this. Screw the old ways! No "breaking." No, Monty... people can be demons when it comes to treating animals well. You're too kind to us.
I like Monty's method the best. He isn't flashy and showy about his skills and abilities, he gets right to the point without wasting time and breath. He is gentle and accomplishes in a matter of minutes what takes others to do in several days. Other trainers methods have the concepts to varying degrees but in pieces and though they do succeed over time, Monty just tackles whatever problem head on and resolves straight away. I like Monty's no nonsense, no frills approach. After watching 0ther trainers work, I still like Monty's method the best. Monty is a true horse whisperer and I appreciate watching him work.
I used this method on my Arab/Hannoverian mix and I have never rode a better horse! I love Monty!

The way he was so gentle with the horse and understanding that it was uncomfortable for her is amazing. He used a calm tone instead of making the horse nervous. He calmed her just using a gentle tone and hand. He is truly AMAZING!😊
This was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I'm a small person, seeing that Mare accept all of that in one session was astonishing and makes me feel better about some day owning my own horse. I want to become a dog and horse behaviouralist & trainer, but being a small person I'm always overlooked & dismissed. Any words of wise?
I love how soft spoken and gentle he is. Absolutely lovely.
Yes! Someone that knows how to do things!!! Working WITH the horse instead of being the big bad wolf
You're like the Bob Ross to horses 😂😂
This guy is great and i have seen his gentle whisper with them and its true , they give trust in their own time and unique way that is clear if you read the signs !!! Ty so much for understanding their own word and body language , its truly amazing !!!
I'm lost of words... Just Magnificent!!!
Thank you for sharing Monty Roberts. Amazing! and what a beautiful horse. How can anyone give a thumbs down.....so ungrateful.
I love how most people actually see what he's doing and not just hate.
Have to wonder about what a person is thinking when they give a thumbs down to Monty. He has had such a massive positive impact on the horse industry over the years. How can you not love this guy?
I love his training methods, i also love how he talks to the horse while tacking her up xD
It’s almost magical the way he gently gets her used to being saddled and having a person on her. It just goes to show how far love, gentleness, kindness and patience can go with animals.
Incredible video. This man is clearly
A master horseman
Mar Roberts you are truly a horse whisperer and you are amazing. Wished when I was young I had someone like you to teach me about horses, I would have had no fear... love these, and I send your videos to all my horse loving friends.
I absolutely love him. The way I have seen other people train horses are disgusting, like Clinton Anderson. Most people order, tell and force the horse to obey and tie them down. This man goes bitless, let’s the horse take its time and so much more. He has so much patience with that horse. It’s outstanding. I’m ligit speechless! Keep up the good work mate
Edit: I just saw that he didn’t even use a lunging whip to make the horse as comfortable as possible, he also didn’t use a big saddle pad, putting lots of weight on the horse. He also didn’t put any leg wraps on, he lets the horse feel comfortable as. And when it came to mounting, he didn’t rush it. He took his time on it. I’m literally so surprised, and I came across you just in my recommendations. You have such a special talent with horses. And you didn’t do too much riding on the mare the first time mounted. You earn their respect and trust. The difference between an abused way of training and yours is so much. You literally inspire me so much. I can’t stop watching your vids. You have earned my respect!
Heartland brought me here. Well I'll be...Amy did it just like this guy. I love it.
That was beautifully done!
Great video!
I love your technique and gentleness!!
I've watched Monty Roberts for at least 18 years. Now all I need I s the horse.
It's always better to have the animal's co operation! Well done sir!
Thank you thank you thank you for not using bits! Your horse language is spot on! Totally in tune with the horse. Keep doing what you're doing - you're an amazing man!
oh, the original Horse Whisperer...i read that book years ago. Very cool.
He didn't write The Horse Whisperer. He wrote The Man Who Listens to Horses.
This video makes me so happy! You see people tying horses up and not comforting them, taking days for the horse to get used to it but this method is just soooo sweet! :)
That is the most amazing thing I have ever watched.
If ever you, anyone reading this, get the chance read Monty Roberts the Man Who Listens to Horses. It is amazing!
Awesome book I agree!!!
This made me so happy seeing this video pop up on my feed! My parents offered me the opportunity to go apprentice with Monty after high school in 2002. That was 17 years ago. For whatever reason I didn’t take it up, even though I was obsessed with wanting to be like him & how he trained horses in such a gentle manner! Hadn’t been searching for anything horse related, so to see this was a welcome surprise to see in my feed 🥰🙏🏻
Wow!
This guy is an absolute legend 👏🏻💯💎
Love your work, Monty! I read your books and used your methods with my first ever Horse (got hubby up into the saddle), and Pi was as quiet and as willing as this girl
It's awesome watching a professional at work, it the way my dad showed me as a kid to train horses and pony's, top guy.
I just left his ranch after being there for 3 days...he is an amazing human being, I personally did a join up with Monty coaching me from outside the pen...such an amazing heart opening experience..
This was amazing to watch
Thank you
Monty is my hero♥️ ever since I was a little girl, I learned join up… and I have always done it with any of my horses and any other horses I have broken for friends! It is the best way to gain trust. So simple. Thank you Monty ♥️
Why did I just learn to saddle a horse? I’m a nursing student in a big city
Madyson Reed the concept of
Because your living the wrong life
Because these ideas will help you be a better person and a better nurse. If you read his books he uses the exact same principles with children. Just ignore the idiots who are going to comment about saddling children :)
This was really so beautiful to see a animal becoming a friend and to trust,,,, I loved it,,I know nothing about horses or training or riding but it was so awesome,,,
This guy is amazing!!
His training method is great! He never intimidates the horse or hurts it to make it do what he wants. We need more trainers like this, especially when teaching young horses.
what a cute horse! awesome video!
Absolutely love Monty! He’s just so amazing, never wants to hurt a horse, always goes off them and how they feel. Brilliant.
Thank you! I hate to see horses whipped.
gym shoe what? Are u saying beating animal’s is ok bc it’s literally a crime to do that.
@@emmalandes7231 hes being sarcastic basically saying "yeah your not the only one".
@@emmalandes7231 The point and sarcasm established went right over your head, didn't it?
What a passion that man has. This is just wonderful to witness the power of love and care.
RICK GORE WHERE YOU AT MAN?
I need him to make a video about this dude, I'm curious what he would say about this.
I'm a fan, hell yeah👌🏻
where do you think he learned it? 😉
Rick Gore will never, ever be in the same league as Monty.
Thank you for teaching me how to work with horses . Thank you thank you for teaching people I want to tell everybody
