Rating: Summary: A bit of a marketing success of already wide spread ideas. Review: Well written, but the ideas described have been common practice, especially in britain for many years. Monty Roberts has just managed to successfully managed to market the ideas. His way of breaking horses could even be considered cruel. As the horse is palced under great stress. After being mentally broke and backed in a single day. Its muscles will surely be sore the next day. Im not saying the ideas are wrong but the ideas should not be used to impress the way he does. The should be used over a period of a week to aid the process of breaking a horse. My comment is not really about the book, but their you go.
Rating: Summary: Best Book ever Review: Monty Roberts makes you realise there are better ways of dealing with horses. He is gentle and kind with these beautiful animals. He has opened my eyes to the way that I'm dealing with my horses and proved to me there is a better way. I have recomended this book to all my friends and they love it too. Not just for a horsey mad mind.
Rating: Summary: Possibly one of the best books I have every read! Review: Monty Roberts has always been one of my heros and this book was a great insight into his life and his work with horses. It was both factual and interesting and everything was described in great detail. I can't wait to read Shy Boy.
Rating: Summary: Great Book! Review: Amazing story of an amazing man
Rating: Summary: excellent, interesting book Review: This book told an interesting story of the life experiences of Monty Roberts as well as teaching the reader the technique of gently and naturally starting a horse.It was hard to put this book down, once I started to read it. As a horse owner and trainer myself, I am excited about exploring the methods described in the book and incorporating them into my training program. I highly recommend this book to any horse owner interested in learning the language of horses.
Rating: Summary: I thought this was a great book, not only for horse lovers. Review: "The Man Who Listens To Horses" was a great book about how Monty Roberts learned a new way to "start" horses. It wasn't the best if you were looking for an in-depth biography, but good if you love horses, or just love life!
Rating: Summary: Great inspiring book Review: This book is just excellent, i can not put it down. when i finally do i always think about it and can not wait to come home to read it. the author is very inspiring. he has been through alot and seen a whole lot as well. it is just amazing. I highly recomend this book - you will be inspried
Rating: Summary: It was great! Review: Anyone who loves horses will live this book as well. It shows Monty Roberts learning how to see through the horses eyes and shows the reader.
Rating: Summary: Thank goodness for Monty and "the language of Equus"! Review: I have a 3 year old mustang filly that was recently introduced to Monty Roberts "Join-up". I can certainly say...seeing is believing! This works. What a wonderful concept of communicating with your horse. A must read for anyone who will soon be introducing a saddle and rider to a horse. Excellent, should be 10 stars instead of five.:)
Rating: Summary: Monty Roberts must be the Forest Gump of horse trainers Review: The mistatements of fact about Monty's life makes this a good book to read, just don't read it as a biography. Well written, just not true. To get more information about good equine communication, try Tom Dorrance, Ray Hunt or John Lyons. All available from Amazon!
