Just bought tickets to go see Monty Roberts the man himself! :D

[horseless jorge!]

At Myerscough on the 23rd of October. Woo.

Me and my sister are going, she's horsey too, and dear Mummy Kath is taking us.

 

[canteron]

Definitely go, in his own way he has been one of the most influential people of his generation on horse care and this really must be one of the last opportunities to see him, so definitely make the effort to see him.

What did I gain from seeing Monty, 2 things

1) Whatever happens he is very calm around horses, always gives them calm vibes, no shouting, or power matches!!
2) He is always making the horse back up a few steps, continuously. I have used this on a stressy mare and it really does help.

Let us know what you think!

 

[horseless jorge!]

Definitely, I'm quite excited to go really.

[Native Speaker]

I saw him last year when he was on his European tour.

He also took time out to chat to me personally about how I came to be here in Germany and not in UK!! I think he was a bit relieved to be able to talk to someone without having an interpreter intervene!

Lovely, quiet, sympathetic man. An absolute legend in his own lifetime - for all the right reasons!

 

[horseless jorge!]

I honestly cannot believe he's 77 now! He just reminds me so much of my grandad.
I decided that Myerscough is the closest place to us hehe.

I'd love to have a chat with him, but I understand that there's going to be a fair amount of people there.

 

[MrsHutt]

Anyone going to Hadlow on 15th Oct?

 

[Tnavas]

Lucky you! I have great respect for him and his methods.

 

[bugbee717]

I saw him two years ago, was not really impressed tbh, I thought Kelly marks was very good though.

 

[loverly]

I'm seeing him at the Grange on the 2nd November - cannot wait!!

Do try hard not to be too dissapointed.

 

[MrVelvet]

I did a dissertation in my first year of my FdSc and found out some things that made me cringe a bit! However if I got the chance to see him (free!!haha!) I might, just to see what he had to say

 

[Fun Foals]

i have seen him twice now and was impressed both times, like others have said always staying calm and understanding. He always seems to have time to talk to everyone aswell. Really worth going to. Hope you all enjoy!

I think he came from a very different time and place and like everyone, especially with horses, understanding evolves. Very few of us are lucky enough to be born perfect and all knowing!

 

[Dubsie]

Saw him last year. Enjoyed it, but do be prepared for the hard sell on his 'Uoooniversity' DVDs, books etc.

 

[SheadonSaffron]

I'll be at all the demos, checking the horses physically and feeding back to Monty anything relevant on that front, and offering membership of the Intelligent Horsemanship Association. Hubby Simon will be filming all the demos and selling his gorgeous pics (Into The Lens). Come and say hi if you get a chance!

Yes a great story teller
!!??

 

[Cop-Pop]

I've only seen videos of him sadly and hes at Hartpury the same day Im at a concert I already have tickets for. I've always been impressed at the way he always seems relaxed around a horse (even if he isn't he hides it well) and the way he's so calm around them. I'd love to have even half of his ability!

 

[soulfull]

yes but not as bad as it used to be. years ago at Solihull he basically said if you didn't buy all his stuff you didn't care for your horse glad he has stopped doing that!!!

Like everything else in this world, you take from it what you want and need and disregard what you don't!!!

I will no doubt go to Rodbaston one again as I am on site and it is a good social night

 

[winterwood]

Monty is riding a couple of cracking western horses this time.

Copy from Mendip Stud, who we have seen on other tours and a 4 year old that has been through his 'Willing Partners' programme

 

[soulfull]

I have seen him many times and saw him again a few weeks ago, watched the selection process first

Always so willing to chat to anyone and adds a touch of humour along the way.

A few years ago he did seem to be really pushing his own products, but not so over the top with it now

Unfortunately he is not looking so well as he was, he has lost a lot of weight and for the first time seems to be showing his age.

We're hopefully going to the Hartpury one, my friend has filled in the form for her two ponies to be used in the demo.

 

[Oberon]

OOPs - that reminds me, I need to buy my ticket.

Whether you agree 100% or not with him, he is a living legend and I'm not missing the chance to see him again.

What DID ruin things for me when I saw him before was the rude, know it all, ignorant, tutters in the audience. So if I am sat next to you - I DON'T CARE how you feel about the demo. Keep your mouth shut, stop muttering or spouting.

Sit quietly and show some

respect for those trying to watch or I'll knock you out

 

[devilwoman]

I went a couple of years back and to be honest wasn't impressed at all, i had had my horse accepted to be used in the show but had to withdraw him at the last minute due to injury and after being at the show was glad I never took him.

Just my opinon but found it very dissapointing with the use of gadgets which I wasn't expecting.

Hope you enjoy it though.
