VHS Movie Reviews of Monty Roberts: Real Horse Whisperer [VHS]

Movie Review: What makes him different from other horse trainers?
Summary: 5 Stars

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 as an adult (38 yo) we seem to loose that intuition. My hat off to Monty at humbling himself, as other cowboys would never love on their horse like that. In public non the less. My horses have been much more conected with me now and I truly enjoy them and our parnership. Unlike the Slave relationship that horses have had to endure for so long. Monty's educational background in Phycology has brought him far and his antilitical concepts help us see what others have ignored.I have read his books. You don't have to be a whiz that something so simple works so effective. He has been around far longer than all these young guy's. He has far more popularity in Europe. I think he breaks tradition so much here some have a predudice against him. Too bad so many are stuck in that Mancho image.

Movie Review: He trained the Queen of England's Royal Horse Trainers
Summary: 5 Stars

Monty 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 time. Now, I don't know about you but if it is good enough for one of the most experienced riders, not to mention the QUEEN of England, I wager I am not the fool for believing my eyes; the fool would be the person who doesn't.

I am a very experienced rider as are many in my family and I KNOW horses and horse behavior - when I used the techniques I learned, THEY WORKED!

When I saw the 3 documentaries aired on the BBC, I thought "I have nothing to lose, I'll try it" and I have to say this man is unbelievable.

I think you need only look at how his approach has worked on humans to know, God gave this man a gift, a gift of spirit and compassion for all living things and it shows in his work.

Honestly, think to yourself "what have I got to lose". For $20 (for a good used copy of the tape here on Amazon), it is worth trying the 'softly, softly' approach.

I think you will be shocked at the results.

Movie Review: Only kids and novices are impressed.
Summary: 1 Stars

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.

Movie Review: For the love of horses, Carry on Please
Summary: 5 Stars

I 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 just go with the flow. I never realized until I read the book and watched the vidio just how special my connection was with the horses. Unfortunately I do not have any horses now, But my grand daughter has inherited my love for horses and wants to learn more about the training and handling of them, which I am really happy about. I want to get the vidio and book for her and I'm sure she will be wonderful. I saw how Monty Roberts spent so much time and patience to earn the respect and trust of the horses and have done the same as a young girl and nothing else mattered just as long as you could spend time with the horses and win thier trust and just be able to pet them and talk to them, never mind to be able to ride them eventually. I saw how they would respond to different tones of voice and body language and would act accordingly. It was wonderful, how I wish I could go back to those wonderful carefree days. Maybe my grandaughter will do it for both of us. I strongly recommend both the book and the vidio to anyone who really wants to learn about horses and to train them the right way with love and understanding. I am glad that Monty Roberts wrote the book an did the vidio so as to pass on the knowledge he has so young people like my grand daughter can get the benifit of his experiences and the tradition can carry on. Thank You Monty Roberts!

Movie Review: Give Me a Break!
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Summary of Monty Roberts: Real Horse Whisperer [VHS]

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
