Summary: Amazing Read
Comment: I've already read Monty Roberts' Man Who Listens To Horses book where he mentions Shy Boy so I just had to read the Shy Boy book to read more. I highly recommend reading both books, Shy Boy is such a great read, I could hardly put it down. The work of Monty Roberts is so amazing, and his journey with Shy Boy really is fancinating, he does what you think cannot be done, but he has.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Superb!!!
Comment: Being a horse lover anyway, this book is definately right up my street, but I had to read it anyway, (my friend said I should!!!) It's a really good read, although only a small book, Monty is a brilliant writer, and the ending is very emotional, it made me cry anyway!!!! brilliant book, and an awesome read, you must have it!!!!

Summary: Not all it seems...
Comment: On first reading this book I thoroughly enjoyed it and, like many others, found it inspirational. But look a little closer at some of the photographs and you begin to wonder whether we have been told the whole story. "Wild" horses wearing shoes? A good read, but keep an open mind.

Summary: The most enlightening book I have ever read
Comment: I have read the other monty roberts books and being a new parent this one appealed even more. He writes from the heart and does not patronise. His views are different but they make sense. If every one could change by using just one of his suggestions the world would be a better place.

Summary: Wow...
Comment: this is an amazing story of how one man managed to train a wild horse. Being a keen rider myself, it is amazing to see and read how one man can do something that so many have only dreamed of. The story is told well, capturing all of the emothion of both Monty and Shy Boy in the story and the amazing photos. This is guarenteed to make any old softie like me cry.

Monty Roberts is the cowboy who single-handedly revolutionised the way humans 'break in' wild horses. The best-selling The Man Who Listens to Horses told how Roberts was brought up on a ranch by a brutal father who used horrendous methods to tame both his horses and his children. As a young man, Roberts watched these horses in the wild and quite literally learned their language, how they communicated with each other and how he, by copying, could communicate with them and thus earn their trust to the point of saddling up and riding them. He tried to tell people but was universally ridiculed. Shy Boy takes us fifty years on to the plains of the high Nevada desert where, under the scrutiny of a BBC documentary team, he builds a relationship with a feral Mustang over the course of three days, demonstrating his amazing technique of 'join-up' by emulating the actions of the matriarch of the herd. This is a very personal and affecting book packed with over fifty exquisite colour photos documenting Roberts' progress with Shy Boy. That old-hands still doubt his discovery is astounding. Here is proof, if proof be needed, that the man--he would argue anyone--can tame the wildest of horses without the slightest hint of force. Inspirational. --Jim Rickards
