he uses kindness and communication
The real horse whisperer is, of course, [[Monty Roberts]]. His story is one of the great successes of modern times. He was a man who listened to horses and watched horses and learned how they communicate naturally in the wild. He figure out how to use the natural instincts of horse communication to come into an intimate and mutually supportive relationship with them.<ref> Monty gained international fame by developing a method of communicating with horses using their natural body language and a technique he calls Join-Up.

What Roberts does is the mirror opposite of "breaking" a horse: he "starts" a horse, getting it to accept halter, bridle, saddle and a rider without any coercion at all.<ref> Using a method involving kindness and communication, Monty Roberts can start a horse to saddle, bridle and rider in an average of 30 minutes. He believes that the violence involved in the traditional method of horse breaking is "unnecessary and counterproductive." "I don't 'break' horses in 30 minutes, I 'start' them," he says. "I want the horse on my team." [http://www.dharma-haven.org/five-havens/listens.htm] </ref>
