A "great trainer" in the way you mean it, is not trainer but a horseman, a partner to the horse, but definitely not a trainer. The idea of training a horse is the opposite of what this great horseman is doing!
Cinder is my horse that I adopted after we both took part in this class. ❤️ So grateful for Monty and the incredible experience we both had at the farm!!
How wonderful, congratulations! Monty is one of the gentle pioneers of understanding and working with horse language to great effect in human horse interactions. Have you also watched some of Klaus Hempfling’s work, and that of Buck Brannaman, and their master student Steven Young? Each has a little more to add to the wonderful harmony between our two species. Let us know how the relationship grows please.
"such an unbelievable joy it is' to watch you teach and connect with kindness and understanding. You are a very special and honourable person Monty. And I couldn't believe that you are 84 ! Inspirational.
I love Monty Roberts. His books have helped me greatly in my volunteer work with OT Standardbreds. He's a genius and if only more horse people were like this.
@@horse-lover68why is it a competition? They have different training techniques, different stories and come from different places. Not to mention they are different people.
@@peachtea1607It's like with 8bil people in the world, different people come up with similar ideas, how wild. Darwin isn't the only person who came up with the theory of evolution, he was just the first Western English-speaking person to get it to print. Monty hadn't even considered writing a book about it until Queen Elizabeth II asked him to. The idea of someone being "first" at something because it's on the internet first is hilarious, considering there was no internet in 1950. Or 60. Or 70. Or 80. 90, it started to become accessible. Soooo 30 years ago vs him being 89 now, hmm. Also the idea that "wild horses" are vicious creatures that attack and try to kill people, please 🙄 My uncle followed Monty Roberts after reading his first book. 20 years of using non-violent, positive methods later and our stallion at the time was so gentle I have pictures of me as a 4-year-old up alone on his back, and I never, ever had anything but love from him. Even with mares stabled right beside him, I never had a problem handling him even when I started doing morning turn-outs and evening turn-ins/feeding when I was 12. It was a rude as hecc awakening when I was at another stable and saw what they did to horses. You don't slap a toddler, you don't shake one, you don't drag their head under something, you don't try to seriously scare them. If you do, you're a massive asshole. Same with horses. Worst thing I EVER had to do was hold an ear, gently, so we could put a gastric tube up a horse's nose.
It’s have been years that I joined your club Mr Roberts , From Iran (Persia) , you signed a book to me in UK (From my Hands to yours) which was sent by mail and I am honored
Its all lies he doing please look it up on Google If you did go to Flag Farm you see how Monty Robards Beat a horse when he not on Camera He said he was beating by his Farther that a lie please look t up on Google the round pen Join up and follow up be around for years long line on that be a round lone before Monty Robards was born. His farther never beat Monty he was a spoilt child his farther had a riding school please look Monty Robards lies on Google mate i was shock Monty brother said this as well as others Monty Greedy for money why it taking from 1998 for Monty Robards to come forward because most of the people who new Monty are dead now please look it up on google mate
Beautiful! So many people have tried to discredit Monty and he has proven all of them wrong! I've never had the joy of owning a horse but I love watching this man!
This guy is a cheat.Everyone that does all his work in a round pen (and there are lots of them) and never ventures out and show us how it works in an open space, I consider to be a cheat. This horse in particular has not even seen a wild horse. Listen to what he says. This horse, a gelding by the way, has been in this place only 6 times but, with novices trainers. Really? So you let novices work with a "wild" horse in such a small place? That must be easy then. 🙂
I remember going to see Monty Roberts when he visited NZ quite a few years ago (maybe 25yrs). I still recall in awe when I joined up using his method on a stallion that was left by his owner. He hated people. But using the Join Up method had 'Grumpy Smurf' as I nicknamed him, following me like a puppy. When the farrier came out to tend to my horse, I asked if he could take a look at Grumpy. He was hesitant because he knew what he was like. He was speechless when I called Grumpy over and he happily stood there while the farrier did what he had to to try and bring his hooves back into shape. So finding this video is a beautiful reminder of what Monty teaches and that it does work :)
I had the privilege of attending Monty Roberts exhibition when he visited Australia in Melbourne some 20 years ago. I was impressed then, and are no less impressed today. I notice slight variations in his technique today, but I see all the same elements in the new technique as before. Tried tested and proven congratulations Sir.
What sn outstanding and impressive work this gentleman have fone, that's wisdom that comes with the age but not everyone van master, obviously each one of us in our own field of expertise, "CONGRATULATIONS", at my 71 years of age I have seen that before but I don't qualify for that, to this great person an each an everyone that one way or another made it possible to bring it to you my most expressive thanks for letting us be amazed and enjoy your excellent video, blessings to all of you gentleman, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.
3:50 “Sending him away” - I’ve watched Steve Young in Wales, who’s learned from Monty: Steve explained it nicely that the dominant horse of a herd will first chase the others to establish their position, and that results in the others wanting to follow a good leader.
You must have the passion and love keep doing what you doing and be able to teach others how to handle a horse good job Mister Robert oh by the way this is Sal I will continue watching the videos you bring up so I can learn something new from you thank you very much for what you do
Thank you Monty, I believe you worked with Steve Young from Wales too… you and Buck Brannaman. I salute all three of you along with Klaus Hempfling, for each bringing the understanding and ability of people to work with horses gently, clearly, and as safe leaders fro them.
Thanks again Monty,We talked twice at Oregon State Fairgrounds too many years ago, I was the Llama guy that uses your exact techniques with Llamas. I’m 70 now, enjoying Florida now. Be Well my Mentor, Thank You, & remember the Deer. Ken Ploeser
a horses skin is only 0.05mm thick, a humans skin is 0.08mm think, so if you want to know if something will hurt your horse then by all means, test those whip lashes on your own skin first :D love montys methods, much love from the uk xxx
it´s the first wild horse/mustang I ever saw that was captured with no mustangbrand?? They all have a mustang brand on the left side from the BLM.. So what´s going on here?
Imagine your intellectual evolution if you followed the Monty Roberts method....you wouldn't have to break a horse's soul and you would also feel better about yourself.
I can't believe so many of you fall for this BS. Maybe that's because you haven't seen a wild horse before? Pay attention to what he said. Its a gelding that has been trained in this place 6 times but with novice trainers. How is it a wild horse, then. And, so you let novice students work with wild stallions? To me, a wild horse is a stallion that has just been brought from the wilderness and hasn't seen a man before. Well, try to put that lead rope around his belly then. Or, that halter on his head and see how that goes. Yes, you can rub his forehead as much as you like. Just for the reference. This is a wild horse. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H2L51J_6SWM.html
What a load of crap!! Of course you do the join up FIRST!! How do you want to start "talking" with them and tell them that you are their leader now, they can feel safe with you without a join up?? 🤦♀️🤦♀️People are SO nasty and don't want to learn in this crazy "horse world"
Something is fishy here. Why is this horse a gelding??? Why was the horse worked the previous 7 days??? When you claim a horse to be wild, you must honour what you say! I don't understand.....
It's a lie. Look here at 5:40. The horse doesn't even have any whiskers...and plus the horse was into the 'join-up' when he first came in the pen. hahaha!!
This is the technique of training a horse that does not involve the harsh “breaking” that people used to use. He’s getting him used to the sights and smells and sounds of being directed by a human. Lunging around as you call it is showing the horse that the trainer is asking for something specific and the horses trying to figure out what it is. By directing him in a certain direction the horse is actually gaining trust that the trainer is not gonna hurt him just guide him
Monty is a salesman not a horseman. Did you see the one where Monty and his crew practically ran a real wild horse to death? The internet is filled with people pretending to be horsemen. Beware!
if there is a true horseman that is Monty Roberts. all the others learned from him and his methods. There is a lot of fake news and hate from wannabes.
Pamela, I do love your concern for the lovely mustang who Monty spent 3 days gentling. Yes, I have seen the documentary, I do not believe he came close to killing the horse and whilst I also feel torn about separating the horse from his herd, I also believe the education for so many was important in getting humans to treat horses differently. Considering how traumatic mustang roundups are (helicopters, separation the herd, shipped to kill pens); I do think it was an important thing Monty did with the horse and know he honors horses way more than he is a salesman.
