"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.

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
