I had the wonderful opportunity to connect with Monty and his daughter, Debbie Roberts Loucks, who works alongside her father to help him advance his concepts and share his innovative techniques with the world. The world is certainly a better place since Monty has proved time and time again that horse training utilizing non-violent horsemanship is the only way in which we should be training at all. He is the author of The Man Who Listens to Horses, a New York Times Best Seller which was released in 1996, spent 58 weeks on the list, and went on to be translated into 15 languages.
Monty is a man that listens to horses and understands them, thus earning himself the name as the original Horse Whisperer. Light-years ahead of his time, Monty embarked on his life's mission, to become a successful horse trainer that could prove to the world that horses do not need to have pain inflicted upon them in order to achieve their highest potential. And above all, that horses should be treated only with kindness, and never punished at the hands of humans. For Monty, he knew that his relationship with horses was built on mutual respect, patience, and understanding. But this was many years ago, as Monty is now an impressive 85 years young. He even competed in rodeo and won his first trophy at just four years old. Horses have been a part of Monty's life since he was a small child.
