Debbie Roberts Loucks introduces this 15th episode reading from Horse Sense for People by Monty Roberts.

“Learn to read the horse in front of you, because each horse needs something different.”

Monty expresses one of his central principles: observe and listen first, rather than applying the same fixed technique to every horse. This is a story about trust, personal responsibility, and the willingness to reconsider our first impressions. Here is Monty Roberts reading, “Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover,” from Horse Sense for People.

In this special episode of Horsemanship Radio, Debbie Loucks opens the Monty Roberts Archive following the passing of her father, legendary horseman Monty Roberts, on July 31, 2026.
For more than a decade, Monty joined Debbie on Horsemanship Radio to share the lessons horses had taught him over a lifetime. Today we return to a particularly meaningful conversation, first heard in Episode 225 in February 2023.
Monty reflects on his lifetime goals, the importance of remaining a student, working hard at what you love, and above all, setting out to do right by the horse.
His voice reminds us that his work was never intended to end with him. It belongs to every horseperson willing to listen, learn and choose a non-violent path.
From the Monty Roberts Archive will continue to bring selected conversations from Horsemanship Radio back to listeners — preserving Monty's stories, teaching and philosophy for generations to come.
Learn Monty's methods in person at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center or continue your education online through Monty Roberts University.
Because if you listen to your horse… your horse will listen to you.
