Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9786304932810 Format: Color, NTSC ISBN: 6304932812 Label: 20th Century Fox Manufacturer: 20th Century Fox Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: 20th Century Fox Release Date: May 19, 1998 Running Time: 48 minutes Studio: 20th Century Fox Theatrical Release Date: 1997 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Even as a child in the horse world, Monty Roberts was uncomfortable with the conventional method of breaking, or training, a horse. He competed in rodeos for 22 years, all the while searching for a better way. Eventually, he learned it from the horses themselves. By watching wild mustangs, Roberts was able to identify some of their body language and apply it himself. A good portion of this 48-minute video is devoted to Roberts demonstrating his "whispering" technique on a mustang separated from the herd. His mission: to get the wild horse to accept a saddle and rider within the space of a few days--without force. Of course, he is successful. But knowing the outcome doesn't diminish the exhilaration of watching the dance between wild animal and gentle conqueror. Roberts used some of the same principles in raising his 3 children and more than 40 foster children and now teaches his method to corporate management groups. --Kimberly Heinrichs Average Rating:
 Rating:  - What makes him different from other horse trainers?I have bought/studies different methods of Natural horsemanship, from Clinton Anderson, Parelli, John Lyons.... I really liked his simplicity and getting to the most important aspect of enjoying our horses and loving them. I have 3 colts and have done all the exersises to a point where they are programed but lost the real communication that you have when your a kid and are not embarressed to show your feelings and connect as if you were a horse communicating. I grew up around horses as a kid and ... Read More Rating: - He trained the Queen of England's Royal Horse TrainersMonty Roberts trained the Queen of England's Stable Hands, at her behest. She ask Monty Roberts to come to England to demonstrate is techniques to Her Majesty and her Royal Stable Hands. The Queen went to the Royal Stables to watch him demonstrate his technique, on the horses her staff had selected. Her Majesty was so impressed with Monty Roberts and his techniques, she hired him to train several of her most senior stable hands. How do I know this? I lived in London England at the ... Read More Rating:  - Only kids and novices are impressed.Round penning is useful for some horses but is contraindicated for others. Only kids and novices and the extremely gullible are impressed by Monty's stuff. The rest of us have seen and used round penning long before Monty became an international superstar through the use of modern media. [...] Rating: - For the love of horses, Carry on PleaseI saw the vidio some time ago ( 4 years?) and was totaly impressed. As a young girl some 45 years ago I used to be very involved with horses and used a lot of Mont Roberts techniques although I never new it at the time. Many people commented on how horses trusted me and I could get them to do things that other people couln't. I just thought that they liked me and felt comfortable around me and just did what was expected of them untill my father told me that I had a special gift with them and to ... Read More Rating: - Give Me a Break!Monty has nothing but the best in mind for these horses. I don't care if he is making money from his books and videos. Would anyone do this for free? I doubt it. The critics giving reviews must not be true horse lovers or they would support any non-violent methods for working with these beautiful animals. I wish there were more people in the world who see horses the way he does. Horses are not the mindless creatures people make them out to be and I think Monty's methods prove that. |
