Who was Elizabeth Taylor's rider double in National Velvet? Who was James Dean driving to see when he was killed? Who communicates with horses better than anyone else in the world?-Monty Roberts. (amazon.de) Amongst my friends who include vets, trainers, riders and equine body workers, the book is somewhat controversial. One of my early mentors in horse rehab (both emotional and physical) knew Monty Roberts and swore he was a genius. Others have sworn that some of Roberts stories were not true. The book is definitely self-serving in Roberts' claims that he single-handedly brought horse training from cruel horse "breaking" practices to more humane training methods. Er um. There's a long standing tradition of trainers like Ray Hunt, Buck Brannaman or Linda Tellington-Jones, to name a few, who have always incorporated kindness and understanding into their work. Less self-serving than Monte Roberts, their clinics, books, videos and demonstrations have helped educate several generations of horse owners, riders and trainers. With all that said, Monty Roberts' book still has enough fascinating horse encounters to make it a a worthwhile read. Monty Roberts is an American horse whisperer. He started riding at the age of two. His father was a violent horse trainer, breaking the horse's will until the horse was afraid to make him upset. Monty thought that he could gentle a horse without violence. When he was thirteen he went into the desert to study wild mustangs. He studied the herd's behavior, and how the lead mare acted torwards the young colts in the herd. Once, he saw a young colt going around, and making trouble. The colt was scaring the newborns, and causing tension in the herd. The lead mare went to him, and drove the colt out of the herd. For hours, the mare would not let the colt back into the herd. Without protection, he was an easy target for cougars and other predators around. Finally, the colt started to apologize by hanging his head, so that his nose was almost touching the dust, and clapping his mouth to say, "Please let me into the herd. I'm not a threat." After seeing this, the mare lets him rejoin the group. After studying various herds, seeing things from mares with newborns being accepted into the herd, from rogue stallions challenging the herd leader. He learns all about their body language, and uses this to gentle horses in a nonviolent way. He travels around the country, making friends, and entering rodeos. He finally settles down with his horse rescue ranch. He takes the most difficult horses and gentles them in less than thirty minutes. No matter how much damage the horse does, either to him, or others, or his property, he always ends up being able to communicate with them. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"Monty Roberts is a real-life horse whisperer--an American original whose gentle training methods reveal the depth of communication possible between man and animal. He can take a wild, high-strung horse who has never before been handled and persuade that horse to accept a bridle, saddle, and rider in thirty minutes. His powers may seem like magic, but his amazing "horse sense" is based on a lifetime of experience. Roberts started riding at the age of two, and at the age of thirteen he went alone into the high deserts of Nevada to study mustangs in the wild. What he learned there changed his life forever. In The Man Who Listens to Horses, he tells about his early days as a rodeo rider in California, his problems with his violent horse-trainer father, who was unwilling to accept Monty's unconventional training methods, his friendship with James Dean, his struggle to be accepted in the professional horse-training community, and the invitation that changed his life - to demonstrate his method of "join-up" to the Queen of England. From his groundbreaking work with horses, Roberts has acquired an unprecedented understanding of nonverbal communication, an understanding that applies to human relationships as well. He has shown that between parent and child, employee and employer (he's worked with over 250 corporations, including General Motors, IBM, Disney, and Merrill Lynch), and abuser and abused, there are forms of communication far stronger than the spoken word and that they are accessible to all who will learn to listen. This inspirational and gentle man, first introduced to the American public on Dateline NBC, is part James Herriot, part Bill Gates, and part John Wayne"--Jacket.
