A few years ago, I took my grandson to watch a Monty Roberts clinic. It was the usual self-promoting, equipment-promoting clinician gig. Roberts did some nice round pen stuff with a few horses and loaded a resistant horse and told us all how special it all was.
We happened to meet an old cowboy friend of my husbands. Warren has ridden a few very nice horses, hung out around the sale barn and ridden on weekends working cattle on some of the few large cow/calf outfits left around here. His comment: "I'd like to see him do that without the round pen." Nancy - I do have a round pen and I do use it - just not to death.
