This brought tears to my eyes, Monty is so patient and has such compassion for the horse. It's heartbreaking that someone did something so cruel to cause such demons for a horse. I truly hope that this work continued afterwards to solve the problem.
Magic in action right there. Have you noticed that horses want to let go of trauma as quickly as possible, an immediate acceptance of deep empathy. The entire audience get a free life changing therapy session too, blissfully unaware of the language patterns and voice tones directed toward them, as their job is to allow 'their' horses to educate them in how to become human. This is the future for us all people, let go and become human, please.
When the human global community learns to approach instinct with listening, then wise dialogue and compassion, we will see radical peaceful social transformation, the rescue of the planet, and for the first time, we will deserve to live among our friends the animals. How we treat our own instincts is how we treat everything that lives by instinct, from plants and ecosystems, to birds and fish and reptiles and amphibians, to mammals. We have in us both herd mentality and apex predator instinct groups, so we have the ability to lead with empathy any other kind of creature with which we interact. When God said to subdue the earth, He hadn't invited us to create language yet. So the only definition of that command He could intend is that we subdue the earth as He subdues us: with His love. In our vast self importance, we assumed He thought we had a better definition than the one He uses Himself. We assume we know better than God, and argue with one another about who among us has the best concept, and why, and scorn the wisdom of instinct and the Earth; and our fellow creatures continue to suffer our brutality, and we normalize their terror to our advantage. As Lao Tzu says, the real leader leaves no footprint. When the work is finished, the people say, We did it ourselves. And this beautiful man showed this beautiful horse that he can overcome the shameful wound that was dealt him, and that when he overcame it, he did it himself. And the horse responded the way the whole planetary community does, when animals or people or countries are led that way: with love.
Thanks, Thank you so very much for uploading thing this. It shows it just is not necessary to have anger or hurt in mind to get the horse or any animal to trust anyone right.
I was lucky enough to see him doing this, was amazing how far he got with him! And if you recall the ever-so-spooky horse Jasper, that would be my beasty :p
I saw Monty doing it without another horse and really the best is to watch him. He is basically doing the same, passing the hand very quickly and removing it even more quickly trying to show the horse it does not hurt him. But it is much more difficult than from the top of another horse. If you can't find any video I suggest to send a question to askMonty on his website or even better to go to his university online which is fantastic.
My horse was most likely whipped and had his ears mishandled as well. Now he knows whips don't cause pain, instead they scratch him all over, and when he finally let me gently brush my hand over his ear his reaction was the same as this horse, he eventually seemed to like it and wanted more, within 10 min he had his head down letting me massage both ears, now he loves his ears scratched. The next challenge will be cleaning them out as he has painful insect bites I could feel inside as I brushed my fingers inside. My other horse had the same issue, now he knows when it hurts, I can make the pain go away.
Saw Montey Roberts as a very young kid when I was about 5 or 6, maybe a little younger or older but due to it being so long ago I cant remember exactly, in Kansas City one time and everything that he taught at that clinic kinda stuck with me, not real horse savvy to say the least. But this guy taught me a lot
Hi, Alien Descendant. I'll take a shot at answering you. There may be others later who differ with my explanation, and, that's OK. :-) The plastic bag is a generic "monster" that frightens all horses. It's kinda in their DNA. This ear thing was Evolution's *personal* nightmare. Monty thought someone had hurt his ears at some time in his life, and thus caused his unnatural fear and loathing of having his ears touched by a human. So, it had to be fixed with "healing hands" on those ears.
nameofthepen The first time my feral 6 year old saw a plastic bag I wanted to use it to remove some soured feed in his new home and wasn't even thinking about him or his possible reaction, especially since it was a windy day. He decided it must be for him to play with. His "monsters" are washcloths, fly spray and ropes more than ten feet long. Oh, and humans other than me. He really doesn't like humans much at all.
This video needs 1000 views plus by the end of the month, at least. Was great I was there Copy, Jasper and Evo and the pony that wouldn't load were all great. I thought Evolution was the best.
Kazzana No. Absolutely not. Wait until the horse is at least 5 or 6 to ask him to jump. His back may or may not be ready at that point depending on breed but at least his legs will.
He'd never get anywhere near the ears of my boy! 8 years old and cannot get a bridle on without heavy sedation. Head collars have to be put on half way down his neck and then dropped behind his ears by holding treats to the floor! Seen loads of people now and no one knows how to help him. Would love to see him actually working with a real, long term problem. I've had him nearly 2 years and still can't bridle him or head collar him normally!
My grandmother's horse spent 30 years flatly refusing a halter or bridle. Even when she was badly injured in a field, it took all night in the rain to get a halter on her.. Once tied to a post the vet was called and the horse pulled the fence post out! Years later I had the opportunity and I spent 2 days solid in the barn with her, first halter and then a complete bridle. It's all about meeting the horse at their level then allow for time and trust to build. Within 15 mins of the bridle being worn I was riding this horse bare back around the field (having not been ridden in 5 years). Don't loose heart, you've just got to find the horses starting point and build trust and reinforce it before moving to the next step. Each step to be completed not given up on.
do u think he can help my horse? she had a brain injury when i first got her and know i'm afraid my momma will send her to the slaughter house !!!!!!!! she goes crazy and i had gotten kicked by her and she had knocked me out cold . so if u know any way i could speak to him please let me know
Monty Roberts in particular, but also Clinton Anderson, Pat Parelli, et al, have merely figured out ways to make good livings at the expense of people who lack a basic understanding of equines. They each sell different methods, but they all work about as well. Equines are intelligent animals who quickly learn and adapt, and the animals deserve FAR more credit than the trainers. If I have to watch Monty Roberts get a horse to go inside a trailer by using several thousand dollars worth of fencing or break a horse by velcroing a plastic dummy on his back one more time, I'm going to throw up.
Evolution is a beautiful horse and Monty Roberts is a phenom. But whoever was filming this should quit smoking. They have a very distracting and gross cough.
kz Zeman did it ever occur to you that the person coughing is probably sick but found this worth getting out of bed for? Sounds like a bronchitis cough to me. My little brother used to get it about once a year.
Silence in the room. People show respect and awe... What a soul moving experience.
This brought tears to my eyes, Monty is so patient and has such compassion for the horse. It's heartbreaking that someone did something so cruel to cause such demons for a horse. I truly hope that this work continued afterwards to solve the problem.
What can I say? It's just wonderful! At least it proves you can train a horse without any negative cruel methods. That is sooooo important!
What an incredible man. I wish I had the pleasure of knowing him!

Absolutely brought me to tears!

38:29 I was a goner. Couldn’t see the screen thru my tears 😭. This was incredible.
I was lucky enough to see him doing this, was amazing how far he got with him!
And if you recall the ever-so-spooky horse Jasper, that would be my beasty :p
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL HORSE ‼️🐴 Vinny 🇺🇸
This man is spot one. I am learning so very very much thanks
Another Monty video and I'm crying again.
that moment where he put his head on him at the end made me tear up
Indeed, the demo with Jasper, the spooky horse was very good so I have just uploaded it !

Is a two year old's bones ready to jump?
Kazzana No. Absolutely not. Wait until the horse is at least 5 or 6 to ask him to jump. His back may or may not be ready at that point depending on breed but at least his legs will.
I hope that question is a joke isnt it ?
he is the guy
any advice for it you don't have a second horse?
ps she is 4 yeas old and isn't trained
ClairAnn Folmer Really pretty!

Can't hear what he is saying to much echo.

well said, He's OK but the lion paw thing is garbage in my opinion
