‘Whisperer’ to calm troubled animals

THE OWNERS of troublesome horses will have a unique opportunity to see their animals brought under control by a ‘horse whisperer’ at the 2010 Fáilte Ireland Dublin Horse Show at the RDS next month.

As well as the annual show-jumping competitions and pony shows, this year’s horse show will have another centrepiece with world-renowned horse trainer Monty Roberts conducting daily demonstrations of his techniques.

Having featured in Hollywood films, the 75-year-old Californian’s training techniques have become popularly known as “horse whispering”.
