Monty Robert’s father trained horses. He would buy youngsters cheap and then he would break them in. Not by creating a partnership with them but by forcing them. He used a process called “sacking out” which was done by tying the horse up and beating them into submission. They would then serve him but not out of willingness but out of fear.
As a young child Monty rode a pony called Brownie and he roped cattle and did lots of riding stunts and won many competitions.
Monty spent his whole life working with horses and at the age of thirteen or fourteen he went to watch the wild Mustangs and observed how they behaved and then used “join up” to create a real willing partnership.
He showed his father his work who was unimpressed. In fact, he was so angry that his son did not follow his training methods, that he beat him very hard.
But Monty stayed determined and now he travels around the world and has been the winner of nine world championships.
In February and March 2010 he is doing displays and showing and explaining how to create a strong partnership with your horse on the ground and under the saddle. His display is perfect for anyone who dreams for competition success or just a happy between them and their horse.
