In Shyboy, world-famous gentler Monty Roberts reveals the unique rapport he shares with one special horse, Shy Boy. During a dramatic three-day ride across a hundred miles of high desert – vividly brought to life in one hundred full-colour photographs by Canadian Christopher Dydyk – Monty Roberts uses all his skill to connect with the wild mustang.

Over the next year, Shy Boy lives on a farm, where he enchants children and earns the admiration of his trainers. As Shy Boy’s fame grows following the PBS documentary of their encounter, Monty Roberts is asked, “Would Shy Boy rather be free?” With trepidation, he takes the horse back to the wild to let him choose: Go with your herd, or stay with humans. What happens is exciting and moving – and truly surprising.

Join Monty as he recounts the stories of his best loved horses, chosen from the tens of thousands he has worked with throughout his lifetime. The Horses in My Life is a celebration of the horses he has learned the most from, as well as those that have impressed themselves most indelibly on his memory and in his heart.

All the horses featured inside – from his first horse Ginger to world-famous Thoroughbreds, to the American Mustang Shy Boy, the star of the oft-repeated PBS documentary and bestselling book, Shy Boy – have contributed something unique to Monty’s understanding of their kind. He pictures each as a stone on a necklace, adding them one by one, allowing you to relish his stories of great warmth and affection. Monty never lost sight of how much each horse meant to him and The Horses in My Life is his tribute to their memory.

In Horse Sense for People, Monty asks us to rethink the way we use power over others and shows you how with people, as with horses, the gentle way is the better way. Practical, philosophical and provocative, Horse Sense for People demonstrates how trust, respect and communication — not coercion — are the keys to fruitful relationships.

This book is rich in anecdotes about both horses and people; it applies the lifetime of lessons Monty has learned from horses to the way we relate to each other in the workplace and at home. These metaphors illustrate a new way of seeing and experiencing your relationships. For example, Monty tells the story of the wild mustang mare that connected with him so quickly that she protected him from what she perceived to be a terrible threat. Monty guides us to understand and empathize with his stories and to transfer this learning to more effective human communication.
