Monty Roberts

Monty Roberts is an American horse trainer and author known for his natural horsemanship techniques, which emphasize understanding and communication between humans and horses. He developed a gentler approach to training, often referred to as "Join-Up," where the horse willingly learns to cooperate rather than being forced. Roberts' methods are influenced by his early experiences with horses on his family's ranch and his observations of wild mustangs. His work has shaped modern equestrian training and emphasizes building trust, respect, and a deep bond between horse and handler, transforming traditional training approaches in the equine community.
