Synopsis

When Monty Roberts was thirteen years old, he went off on his own to the deserts of Nevada to watch mustangs in the wild. What he learned about their methods of communication changed his life forever. "The Man Who Listens to Horses" reveals his deep love and understanding of horses. We learn how, through his relationship with various horses, he gradually developed the methods which enabled him to communicate in their own language: a silent language of gestures like signing for the deaf. According to Monty, anyone can learn the language of the horse and anyone can learn his Join-Up(r) methods. In this book, he tells you how.This new edition contains text and photos that take the reader on a journey through the ten years since the first publication of "The Man Who Listens to Horses", the bestselling autobiography that spread Monty Roberts' message across the world and changed his life forever. Unique and inspirational, and with a message that resonates far wider than its application to horses, it might change your life too.
