From the legendary trainer known as “the original horse whisperer” comes a deeper look at the gentle wisdom of horses that makes them a uniquely powerful guiding force for all aspects of life. More than two decades after his international bestseller The Man Who Listens to Horses, Monty Roberts returns with new insights and powerful stories about the invaluable and timeless lessons he’s learned from the most fascinating and beautiful creatures on Earth. What the Horses Said sheds light on the extraordinary ways horses have helped Roberts navigate life’s many complexities and unexpected challenges. Reflecting on more than 30 years of encounters, Roberts shares the unforgettable moments that have shaped his journey, including his friendshipwith Queen Elizabeth II, teaching nonviolent principles to the gauchos of Argentina, training unruly horses in Germany and the Middle East, and studying the wild deer that have learned to see him as part of their herd. Along the way, he imparts the deep understanding he’s gained about the advantages of being compassionate and kind, crucial knowledge about sustainable practices in animal training, and eye-opening truths about mental health and post-traumatic stress. In What the Horses Said, Roberts shares how what he’s learned from a lifetime of listening to horses can illuminate our paths and enhance our understanding of the world around us by teaching us: The power of kindness as a transformative force, capable of changing lives and challenging established norms Why nonviolent approaches to conflict resolution, without force or aggression, are most effective The importance of trust and why relationships built on trust and respect yield better results in any context How leading by example and standing firm in one’s beliefs can inspire others, and how questioning traditional practices can lead to innovative, nonviolent solutions How one person can spark profound change, demonstrating that individual actions can have widespread effects In this moving and heartfelt book, readers will find a better way to live: as horses do—fully present, genuinely trusting, and instinctively kind.

O homem que ouve cavalos apresenta o método pioneiro de Monty Roberts na comunicação com animais. Considerado o maior treinador equino do mundo e conhecido como encantador de cavalos, Monty Roberts utiliza a sensibilidade e a confiança, sem recorrer à violência. Monty Roberts teve uma infância problemática e uma relação conturbada com o pai, um treinador de cavalos tradicional que usava métodos violentos para domar os animais, acreditando que se os machucasse, não seria machucado. Apesar da reprovação que recebeu ao demonstrar incômodo com a forma como seu pai tratava os animais, Monty lutou contra isso e relata em O homem que ouve cavalos como desenvolveu uma conexão especial com os equinos e sua preocupação em encontrar uma forma mais gentil e respeitosa de treiná-los. Através de sua convivência com os cavalos, Monty Roberts aprendeu a importância do equilíbrio, da empatia e da confiança mútua no desenvolvimento de uma relação harmônica entre homem e animal. Neste livro, Monty descreve suas técnicas de treinamento, baseadas na atenção e observação do comportamento equino e na comunicação silenciosa, que permitiram que ele pudesse superar desafios e estabelecer uma relação profunda com os cavalos. A ideia de transformar sua experiência com métodos de comunicação com animais em um livro surgiu de outra apaixonada por cavalos, a rainha Elizabeth II – de quem recebeu a condecoração como Membro da Ordem Vitoriana. A trajetória de vida de Monty Roberts também serviu de inspiração para o filme "O encantador de cavalos", de 1998, protagonizado por Robert Redford. O homem que ouve cavalos não oferece apenas um método de iniciação e treinamento de cavalos, ele transcende o tema, apresentando também lições de convivência aprendidas com eles. O livro ficou por mais de um ano na lista dos dez best-sellers nos EUA e na Inglaterra, segundo a revista Publishers Weekly. "Para quem quer que se importe com animais, não apenas cavalos, ler este livro é uma obrigação." - John Oaksey, Daily Telegraph "O livro, por um lado, é um pedido de desculpas aos cavalos por obrigá-los a suportar a nossa falta de compreensão, e, por outro, uma tentativa de apresentar o elo ausente. Ninguém fez mais para atingir esses objetivos do que Monty Roberts." - Spectator "Extraordinário... Enquanto Roberts fala, a sabedoria nascida de uma vida imensamente variada sai flutuando de dentro dele. Surpreendente, multifacetado e definitivamente enriquecedor." - Sporting Life

From the author of the #1 bestseller The Man Who Listens to Horses, a book for all of us seeking to strengthen our human relationships "Monty Roberts will make you marvel."—The New York Times Book Review In The Man Who Listens to Horses, Monty Roberts revealed the depth of communication possible between human and horse. Touching the hearts of more than four million readers worldwide, that memoir—which spent more than a year at the top of The New York Times bestseller list—described his discovery of the "language" of horses and the dramatic effectiveness of removing violence from their training. Now, the world's most famous horse gentler demonstrates how his revolutionary Join-Up technique can be used not just for horses, but as a model for how to strengthen human relationships. With vivid, often deeply moving anecdotes, Roberts shows how the lessons learned from the thousands of horses he has known can provide effective guidelines for improving the quality of our communication with one another—from learning to "read" each other effectively, to creative fear-free environments, and, most importantly, teaching belief in the power of gentleness and trust.

Here at last is the book horse lovers have long awaited - a thorough collection of the training techniques and philosophies of Monty Roberts.

"To appreciate Shy Boy," writes horse gentler Monty Roberts, "you must see him or his kind running free and easy, in a wide open space." This compelling story, and the breathtaking photographs that accompany it, offer a chance to do just that. During a dramatic three-day ride across miles of high desert, Monty Roberts used all his skill to connect with the little mustang he finally befriended. In the year that followed, Shy Boy grew to love life on the farm, playfully demanding attention, and becoming fascinated by children. After a year of challenges and one frightening illness, the wild horse's exceptional spirit earned the respect and admiration of his trainers. And, as a result of a PBS-aired program based on his initial encounter with Roberts, Shy Boy gained international fame. Yet throughout this extraordinary year, Monty Roberts struggled with the question, "Would Shy Boy rather be free?" With trepidation, he took Shy Boy back to the wild to let him choose. The event, and its stunning conclusion, are memorably captured in these magnificent photographs and in a story that is both unforgettable and inspiring.
