From the legendary trainer known as “the original horse whisperer” comes a deeper look at the gentle wisdom of horses that makes them a uniquely powerful guiding force for all aspects of life.

More than two decades after his international bestseller The Man Who Listens to Horses, Monty Roberts returns with new insights and powerful stories about the invaluable and timeless lessons he’s learned from the most fascinating and beautiful creatures on Earth. What the Horses Said sheds light on the extraordinary ways horses have helped Roberts navigate life’s many complexities and unexpected challenges.

Reflecting on more than 30 years of encounters, Roberts shares the unforgettable moments that have shaped his journey, including his friendshipwith Queen Elizabeth II, teaching nonviolent principles to the gauchos of Argentina, training unruly horses in Germany and the Middle East, and studying the wild deer that have learned to see him as part of their herd. Along the way, he imparts the deep understanding he’s gained about the advantages of being compassionate and kind, crucial knowledge about sustainable practices in animal training, and eye-opening truths about mental health and post-traumatic stress.

In What the Horses Said, Roberts shares how what he’s learned from a lifetime of listening to horses can illuminate our paths and enhance our understanding of the world around us by teaching us:

The power of kindness as a transformative force, capable of changing lives and challenging established norms
Why nonviolent approaches to conflict resolution, without force or aggression, are most effective
The importance of trust and why relationships built on trust and respect yield better results in any context
How leading by example and standing firm in one’s beliefs can inspire others, and how questioning traditional practices can lead to innovative, nonviolent solutions
How one person can spark profound change, demonstrating that individual actions can have widespread effects

In this moving and heartfelt book, readers will find a better way to live: as horses do—fully present, genuinely trusting, and instinctively kind.
