Monty Roberts - a man who can listen to animals

Most people think of Monty Roberts as the "horse whisperer" and quite rightly so.

But what many might not realise is that the principles he applies to horses work equally well with other animals - particularly other flight and prey animals - and also with humans.

Monty was in New Zealand last week holding demonstrat-ions throughout the country. His main aim was to help New Zealanders better understand their animals, themselves and others.
