Viac o knihe

No one understands horses better than Monty Roberts, who is regarded as the "true horse whisperer." His JOIN-UP method is based on a non-violent interaction between humans and animals, where genuine partnership and harmony can only arise when the other has the freedom to choose. Coercion is frowned upon, and the relationship between horse and rider should develop gently. In this book, Roberts presents his JOIN-UP method in detail, which has emerged from his experience with over twelve thousand horses. As a 13-year-old, he helped capture mustangs and recognized their instincts and communication skills. Body language is crucial in this process. To better understand the language of horses, Equus, and to conduct JOIN-UP, Roberts has compiled his method in a richly illustrated training manual. The steps of communication between humans and horses are clearly and systematically explained with examples, diagrams, and photos. Roberts demonstrates that his work with horses is not witchcraft. The book offers concise guidance on how to gain trust, communicate successfully, choose the right equipment, and avoid common mistakes. It is Monty Roberts' life's work and a benefit for all who wish to practice his method. A must for horse lovers.
