In 1948 he rode into the out-of-doors hunting-ground, to catch some wild horses for the ranch. He was alone, and so he had enough time to observe the horses. He observed the performance of the houses and learned much about the language of the horses. At home he tried to speak this language with a horse, and the horse understood him. He wanted to show this success to his father. But there, he hit on disrelish and hate and his father laid hand on him. Since that time he kept this secret by himself for a long time, and learned secretly. His father demendet to the methode of “1Aussacken” anymore.

In the time of 1955 to 1969 won Monty Roberts many of rodeo awards as well as regional, national and international prices. In 1966 he built up the “Flag is up Farm” in Solvang, Karlifornien. It was a breed and a training post for horses. Even now, he don’t show anybody his methode. The time of 1967 to 1970 the farm accorded to be very successful.

More than ten years later, in 1989 he got the most important invitation. He was invated to England to show his methode to Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth, Prince Philip and the Queenmother. Till that time he had never shown his mthode to anybody. He was sure of, that nobody would believe him. His first demonstration with the young mare of the Queenmother was a complete success.

In 1997 he could fulfill a dream of himself at last. He demonstrated the Join-up-methode with a wild horse in the hunting-ground. More then hundred kilometers hunting-ground, and a horse which never saw a human before. Monty Roberts needed about five days to make “Shy Boy” gentle for saddle, snaffle and rider. Before that, he had only demonstrate the Join-up-methode in a lunge circle. In this one, he has needed only one hour to make the horse gentle for saddle, snaffle and rider.

Monty Roberts has written some books. The most well-known books are “The man who listens to horses”, “Horse Sence for People” and “Shy Boy”. Furthermore he has shooted many documentation films like “Shy Boy”. During the five days in which he gentled “Shy Boy” there were always a camara with him.
