I first just want to say how excited I am to writing about this amazing man. Mr. Roberts has changed the face of horse training, his revolutionary ideas have been formed over years and years of watching and "listening" to horses. Monty first learned to listen to wild horses while observing wild mustangs at the age of thirteen. He was sent there to round up wild horses for the Salinas Rodeo Association's Wild Horse Race, he spent hours silently watching the feral horses interact with each other. Soon he realized that they used a discernible, effective, and predictable language to communicate. In a moment the would change his life and the lives of horse people around the world, Roberts understood that utilizing this silent language would allow training to commence in a much more effective and humane manner, encouraging true partnership between horses and humans. Later he would name this moment of partnership "Join-Up".
I, myself have used his methods on my own horses and can testify that they work! I've been a fan of him for a few years now and I am so honored to be able to mention his name on this blog.
Thank you Monty Roberts for what you have done and for what you continue to do in "Making the world a better place for horses".
