"Although Roberts is clearly an educated and thoughtful man, he doesn't bother to explain or analyze either his childhood or his manhood....He knows who he is, and he's decided to tell us his stories, because they are a part of him and he senses their importance." "The surprisingly complex and lively memoir of a successful and influential horse trainer who helped pioneer nonviolent methods of breaking horses in." "Monty Roberts has nearly the skill with words that he has with the body language of horses, and can explain complicated and subtle phenomena well enough to be understood even by those who have limited contact with quadrupeds." First lineIt all dates from those summers alone in the high desert, me lying on my belly and watching wild horses with my binoculars for hours at a time. Publisher's note"It all dates from those summers alone in the high desert, me lying on my belly and watching wild horses with my binoculars for hours at a time. Straining to see in the moonlight, striving to fathom mustang ways, I knew instinctively I had chanced upon something important but could not know that it would shape my life. In 1948 I was a boy of thirteen learning the language of horses. . . ." The bestselling memoir of the fascinating horse trainer who revolutionized a violent profession with his gentle method. "Roberts's story is more fascinating and profound than any told in fiction".--"San Francisco Chronicle". AnnotationThe author's account of his unique relationship with horses is part memoir, part "how-to" book on the power of nonverbal communication. Since the age of 2, Roberts has been riding horses and observing their behavior. The son of a violent horse trainer who was critical of his son's unconventional methods, Roberts worked as a rodeo rider in California before adapting his experiences to the corporate sphere. Drawing on the lessons he learned training horses, Roberts now advises companies on how to improve relations in the workplace.
