Monty Roberts, the internationally acclaimed horseman who defied conventional training methods to develop a gentler approach based on horses' nonverbal language, died last week at the age of 91.

A Life Defined by Horses

Born in Salinas, California, in 1935, Roberts could ride confidently by age 3 and spent 10-hour days working with horses by age 8, competing on weekends. He became a champion rider and a stunt rider in about 100 movies, including the Elizabeth Taylor film 'National Velvet.'

Roberts first learned about horses from his father, who ran a riding school at the massive Salinas Rodeo, but his father used pain and punishment to break horses, including tying legs up, tying them down on the ground, and tying them to posts to frighten them.

The 'Join Up' Method

Roberts defied the conventional method of breaking horses and created his own gentler approach, known as 'join up,' which he referred to as 'starting' rather than 'breaking' the horse. His method does not use any pain or restraint and requests that the horse do the things he wants.

He based his approach on the nonverbal language horses use to communicate with each other, which he observed as a teenager watching wild mustangs in the Sierra Nevada. His join up method involves sending the horse away using aggressive phrases in horse language, such as 'eyes on eyes' and 'shoulders square.'

A Friendship with the Queen

Roberts became internationally known after Queen Elizabeth II brought him to work with her horses in 1989. She supported his controversial gentle approach to horse training and urged him to write his memoir, 'The Man Who Listens To Horses,' which became a best seller in 1996.

Their 30-year friendship was the subject of the 2023 Andrea Nevins documentary 'The Cowboy And The Queen.' From his California ranch, Monty Roberts introduced his techniques to horse owners, trainers and students from around the world.
