The Man Who Listens to Horses

De: Monty Roberts

Narrado por: Ed Sala

Monty Roberts has traveled the world working with difficult horses. He has trained Queen Elizabeth's yearlings, jittery stallions on movie sets, and million-dollar race horses. In each case, he controls the animal without using force or inflicting pain.

Monty's father, a traditional horse trainer, had taught his son to dominate a horse in order to "break" it. But when he was 13, Monty made a discovery that changed his life. As he watched a mare tame a rebellious colt, Monty saw that she was speaking to it through eye and body movements. Astonished, Monty realized that he could train horses by using their language, speaking to them in ways that would form trust and understanding.

Developing techniques based on what he learned from the horses around him, Monty embarked on a remarkable career - one that would bring him international fame as the real Horse Whisperer. Now, in his own words, he shares the story of his memorable life.

An immediate best seller, The Man Who Listens to Horses is filled with courage, compassion, and Roberts' vast affection for his best friend, the horse.

A big story full of amazing smaller stories .

This life of a unique and inspirational man is unbelievably believable. My personal favorite sub story in this book was the communication with deer! So interesting!
When he talks about his dad; I wished I could give a comforting hug to the boy inside the man.

couldn't stop listening to this book.

I hope to apply Monty's method of join up one day when I get a horse.

magical from beginning to end

I loved this, was completely gripped from start to finish. It was touching and compelling.

Incredible life story

Amazing insight on the life of legendary pioneer Horseman Monty Robert's. This is must read book for anybody anywhere that works with horses.

The remarkable insights into animal and human behavior

I was drawn to every word of this insightful man. How at such a young age he noticed such details about the horse and its behaviors. It’s communication with other horses and people and how it changed the way people could kindly change the interaction between people and horses as well as other animals and even other humans. I remarkably moving true story. I would have loved to have personally known Monty as a close friend.

Thank you for reminding us that following the crowd may be easier, but not always correct. That following your own dreams and embracing your abilities does lead you to the life of your dreams!

Journey of his life!

Wonderful story explained his life journey. And how he came to understand the horse. Explains join up, how it works and is done.

Great read/listen for any horse lover

I thought this book might be more of a didactic read but found the story surprisingly engaging. Monty Roberts is a legend but I knew little of his teachings and less about his life. Highly recommended for anyone interested in horses and animal behavior.
