He can take a wild, high-strung horse who has never before been handled and persuade that horse to accept a bridle, saddle, and rider in thirty minutes. His powers may seem like magic, but his amazing "horse sense" is based on a lifetime of experience. Roberts started riding at the age of two, and at the age of thirteen he went alone into the high deserts of Nevada to study mustangs in the wild. What he learned there changed his life forever. In The Man Who Listens to Horses, he tells about his early days as a rodeo rider in California, his problems with his violent horse-trainer father, who was unwilling to accept Monty's unconventional training methods, his friendship with James Dean, his struggle to be accepted in the professional horse-training community, and the invitation that changed his life - to demonstrate his method of "join-up" to the Queen of England. From his groundbreaking work with horses, Roberts has acquired an unprecedented understanding of nonverbal communication, an understanding that applies to human relationships as well. He has shown that between parent and child, employee and employer (he's worked with over 250 corporations, including General Motors, IBM, Disney, and Merrill Lynch), and abuser and abused, there are forms of communication far stronger than the spoken word and that they are accessible to all who will learn to listen. This inspirational and gentle man, first introduced to the American public on Dateline NBC, is part James Herriot, part Bill Gates, and part John Wayne. 000314280 60010 $$aRoberts, Monty,$$d1935- 000314280 650_0 $$aHorses$$xBehavior. 000314280 650_0 $$aHorses$$xTraining. 000314280 650_0 $$aHuman-animal communication. 000314280 650_0 $$aHorse trainers$$zCalifornia$$vBiography. 000314280 650_0 $$aHorse whisperers$$zCalifornia$$vBiography. 000314280 85200 $$bgen$$hSF284.52.R635$$iA3$$i1997 000314280 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/bios/random057/97017318.html 000314280 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random044/97017318.html 000314280 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/random0411/97017318.html 000314280 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:314280$$pGLOBAL_SET 000314280 980__ $$aBIB 000314280 980__ $$aBOOK 000314280 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
