supergran71 Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 I am sure some of yoou out there are interested or may even own a horse and I wondered if any of you have heard of a man called Monty Roberts. He is the original "Horse Whisperer" on which the book and then the film was based. The reason I am mentioning it on this forum is because he has written loads of books on the subject of training horses and is currently in this country giving demos. I read his first book on horses a few years back and found it riveting reading it was called The Man Who Listens To Horses by Monty Roberts You can find all the info on this link http://www.montyroberts.co.uk/ Quote

Icecream Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 We own a horse! Well OH does, and a pony. His 6 yr old is a perfect rider. She beats the 12 yr olds in comps. Thanks Supergran. Quote
Adam Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 I love horses. They are my favorite animal. So large yet gentle Quote
Laramie Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 I think it's funny that the great big shires are really gentle and kind, and the mini likkle shetlands are the naughty cheeky ones :friends0:That's me hugging a horsey:D Quote

pipistrelle Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Hi Supergran, Having bought The Man Who Listens to Horses in a remaindered bookshop about 10 years ago, I was so taken that I went to see him and Kelly Marks do a demonstration. I was impressed and really quite moved by how he handled the horses some of which were quite spooked at being in a large arena with lots of lights etc. I've read Shy Boy too. Quote

Lucky you Pipistrelle, I would love to see one of his demonstrations, but sadly, he isnt doing one near me this time. I too enjoyed his book Quote
