Get these movies, they are truly great! The Man From Snowy River (the first one was best but there is a sequel....I walked down the aisle at my wedding to "Jessica's Theme!) and another favorite old movie, Brady's Escape. The horsemanship is real and more realistic. Actual horsemen, not just close-ups of the actors then far shots of stunt doubles. Loved them both.

It is "The man who listens to horses". It's my sil's book, she had it autographed as she saw him in Toronto years ago. She said he is absolutely wonderful.
I haven't read much of it, but what I have read is amazing. I didn't know he wrote more books, I will hav to look for them. His way of horse 'training' is my way. I absolutely despise the oldschool methods. My dd is 12 (almost 13), and she has such a bond with the horses, and I believe it is because she undertands them. Reading Monty Roberts book has helped tremendously.

Oh, that is the one! You will enjoy that book so much. I found that I'd used his techniques unknowingly too, somewhat, and when I read his book for the first time I so wished I'd had it when I was working with horses full-time.
I worked with a somewhat feral rescued goat (my fat Willow, the black pygmy) using his join-up techniques. Had to do it in a stall, as Willow was pretty slick and the paddock was just too big. Willow loves me now, and has for years. Monty has joined up with wild deer on his property!
And....what thread??? Curious (nosy) minds want to know....

Sorry I mentioned the thread at all, it was one on the healthcare repeal.
May the thread rest in peace, alas poor thread, I knew thee well.

I know, me too....
Yeah, dd said she knew alot of the stuff, but it just finetuned her approach, and she has used the techniques on the calf and sheep too. The calf got used to us very quickly following his methods. Mydd and Monty's methods make life on our farm very easy. I know dag speak, but learning horse( or any herd animal) speak is new to me. Learning though

Thanks, Jamie, I actually never opened that thread, even once. I knew better.
Yep, life sure is easy when the animals WANT to be with you and are respectful. I have the opposite, though, I knew horse speak but when I got my first dog, he threw me for a loop, as carnivore speak is very different from herbivore speak! And I got a dog that was way smarter than I am.....
