Talk:Monty Roberts: A Real Horse Whisperer

Ms Louck's edit, I think, violated Wikipedia's NPOV rule and also may have violated its rule regarding 'commercial' postings. I attempted to combine the more neutral aspects of her post with a revert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.79.84.2 (talk) 07:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I removed the external link to Horse Whispers and Lies because that refers to a separate subject about the Marvin Roberts, the senior. This documentary is only about a documentary made by the BBC which aired in the US on PBS and on QED in the UK. The entire subject pertains to Monty as he sets out to Join-Up with a wild mustang (Shy Boy) without fear, without force, and without enclosures. User: Debbie Roberts Loucks —Preceding comment was added at 05:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I removed a couple of fanboy comments. Lil (talk) 06:23, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Monty Roberts is a fantastic man who does all that he can to make the world a better place for horses:) There should be more people in the world like him :)

monty rocks =D

The goal of Wikipedia articles is not to be partisan. Partisan reactions to Roberts have been a great problem on both the side of negative reactions and the side of positive reactions. I am going to have to revert much of what has been added (on 1 or 2 January 2006) and adjust other content as well in order that this article does not become a battleground for users with partisan opinions. P0M 16:47, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

--- I reverted the article to an earlier, more NPOV version. Roberts daughter (or someone using her name) had converted the article to what was tantamount to an advertisement for him. Ed and Patrick, I think your skillful contributions are needed to make the article satisfactory for all. Lil, 6 January 2006

Stub no good
There is a lot of information in previous article versions, such as the May 2004 P0M version.

I'd like to see restoration of:
 * observation of Mustangs in the wild
 * anything about how Monty "came up with" the idea of join-up.

In other articles (like the Monty Roberts bio) I'd like to see:
 * anything and everything about his relationship with father
 * claims of being beaten
 * counter claims that he made it all up
 * his criticisms of other techniques, such as tying the legs and/or torture

Sigh. It's like starting over from scratch. --Uncle Ed 14:42, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Force & Fear
Monty Roberts raped me at my job when I was 19 & he was 53. Allie Booth 72.16.72.80 (talk) 20:07, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Endurance racing (motorsport)

Endurance racing is a form of motorsport racing which is meant to test the durability of equipment and endurance of participants. Teams of multiple drivers attempt to cover a large distance in a single event, with participants given a break with the ability to change during the race. Endurance races can be run either to cover a set distance in laps as quickly as possible, or to cover as much distance as possible over a preset amount of time.

One of the more common lengths of endurance races can be running for 500 km, or roughly 3 hours, or 1000 km, or roughly 6 hours. Longer races can run for 1000 mi, 12 hours, or even 24 hours. Teams can consist of anywhere from two to four drivers per event, which is dependent on the driver's endurance abilities, length of the race, or even the rules for each event.

Origins
Coppa Florio was an Italian car race started in 1900, and renamed in 1905 when Vincenzo Florio offered the initial 50 000 Lira and a cup designed by Polak of Paris. The Brescia race visited the route Brescia-Cremona-Mantova-Brescia. In 1908, the race used the Circuito di Bologna: Bologna-Castelfranco Emilia-Sant'Agata Bolognese-San Giovanni in Persiceto-Bologna. Since 1914 most of the Coppa Florio was co-organized with the Targa Florio near Palermo, Sicilia, running four or five laps, 108 km each.

The Targa Florio was an open road endurance automobile race founded in 1906- the track length of the last decades was limited to the 72 kilometres of the Circuito Piccolo delle Madonie, which was lapped 11 times.

The Mille Miglia was an open-road endurance race which took place in Italy 24 times from 1927 to 1957.

The world's first organized 24-hour automobile race event was held on a 1-mile oval track at Driving Park, Columbus, Ohio on July 3–4, 1905. Beginning on the afternoon of July 3, four cars from Frayer-Miller, Pope-Toledo, Peerless and White Steamer raced for a $500 silver trophy. The winning Pope-Toledo car covered 828.5 miles. A protest was filed by the Frayer-Miller and Peerless teams, alleging the Pope-Toledo was not owned by the driver, instead sent from the factory with an engine built for racing.

The first 24-hour race to take place at a dedicated motorsport venue was at Brooklands in England, eleven days after its opening in 1907. This incurred the wrath of local residents and would lead to the Double Twelve race. This format meant the race took place for 12 hours each between 8 am to 8 pm and between it, the cars were locked up overnight to prevent maintenance work from being performed on them.

The 2001 Dakar Rally saw competitors cover a distance of 10,739 km with a winning time of 70 hours over 20 days with three classes of cars, motorbikes, and trucks. The 1992 Paris–Cape Town Rally covered a distance of 12,427 km. The 1994 edition saw competitors return to Paris, for a distance of 13,379 km. The Expedition Trophy, first held in 2005, runs from Murmansk to Vladivostok, for a total distance of 12,500 km. The 1908 New York to Paris Race covered a distance of over 16,000 km, taking 169 days from February 12 to July 30.

Automobile endurance racing
In the beginning of formalised endurance racing, the races tended to be for sports cars while the Grand Prix cars of the era began to evolve into the open wheel racing cars of today and ran over shorter distances. Over time sports cars began to evolve away from their roots as a production based alternative to pure-bred racing machines of Grand Prix cars, which led to the creation of GT and touring car racing classes, and these classes continued to embrace the endurance format. Multiple drivers per car was an early adaptation as the rigors of endurance racing quickly overcome the abilities of most racing drivers to compete solo, although solo attempts on 24 hour races like Le Mans would continue into the 1950s.

The various endurance formats were appealing to manufacturers, not only as alternatives to the expense of Grand Prix racing, but also because of its increased relevance to road going models.

Triple Crown
In automobile endurance racing, three events have come to form a Triple Crown. They are considered three of the most challenging endurance races over the decades: the 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, and 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Endurance racing championships
Strong spectator figures, media interest and television coverage of endurance racing's Triple Crown events (24 Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, and 24 Hours of Le Mans) has led to the establishment of several endurance racing series — thereby giving teams the opportunity of running their cars in Championship events throughout the year.

The FIA World Endurance Championship is an international sports car racing series organized by both the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) and the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). It supeceded the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup, run in 2010 and 2011, and uses similar rules to the WSCC and ELMS/AsLMS below. The series features both Le Mans Prototypes and GT cars. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is included as a feature race, while the other races are 6 hours long and take place in countries all over the world such as Bahrain, Brazil, Japan, and the United States. The WEC is considered a revival of the defunct World Sportscar Championship which ended in 1992.

An early championship was the Australian Endurance Championship, held since 1981.

The WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (WSCC) is a US sports car racing series organized by the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). The season begins with the 24 Hours of Daytona, traditionally held in the last weekend of January or the first weekend of February. There then follows a further 12 races, including the famed 12 Hours of Sebring, 6 Hours of Watkins Glen and Petit Le Mans. The WSCC includes Le Mans Prototypes and Le Mans-spec GT cars and formerly featured the unique Daytona Prototypes and Daytona-spec GT cars. The series is considered to be the successor of the defunct IMSA GT Championship as well as the American Le Mans Series and Rolex Sports Car Series that merged to form it.

The European Le Mans Series (ELMS) is a European sports car racing endurance series run by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO). The ELMS is seen as a rebirth of the old European Le Mans Series which was created by IMSA and the ACO, but only ran in 2001. LMS champions and runners-up in all four categories receive an automatic entry to the following year's 24 Hours of Le Mans. All races used to be 6 hours long, but the format was changed to 3 hours in 2013 to differentiate it further from the WEC; currently, it has been reextended to 4 hours. With the debut of the World Endurance Championship in 2012, the series has dropped LMP1 and now features LMP2 as its premier category, in addition to LMP3 and GT categories.

The Asian Le Mans Series (AsLMS) is an Asian sports car racing series run by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO). It uses the same car categories and regulations as the ELMS, and also provides automatic entries to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The series is related to the former Japan Le Mans Challenge that turned into the older Asian Le Mans Series (which was cancelled after one season).

The GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup (GTWCEEC) is a European sports car racing endurance series run by the Stéphane Ratel Organisation. It is similar to the ELMS, but only uses performance-balanced GT3 cars instead of prototypes and holds generally shorter races, although some races are exceptions, such as the 24 Hours of Spa, which the series is centred on. One of the key emphases of the series is being friendly for amateur and gentlemen drivers, and there are numerous non-pro classes in addition to the premier GT3 Pro class. The series began in 2011 and saw increased involvement in 2012 and 2013.

The Baja 1000 is an annual Mexican off-road motorsport endurance race held on the Baja California Peninsula. It is one of the most prestigious off-road races in the world. The race was founded by Ed Pearlman in 1967 and is sanctioned by SCORE International. The Baja 1000 allows various types of vehicles and classes to compete on the same course at the same time. The course has remained relatively the same over the years, with about every event being either a point-to-point race from Ensenada to La Paz, or a loop race starting and finishing in Ensenada.

The Intercontinental GT Challenge is world sports car racing endurance series run by the Stéphane Ratel Organisation, like the GTWCEEC. Its rule set is similar to GTWCEEC, although it is centred on internationally renowned endurance races that are often part of multiple championships, such as the Bathurst 12 Hours and the Nürburgring 24 Hours, which belong to the GT World Challenge Australia and Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie championships respectively.

In popular culture
Endurance motor racing has proven a popular subject for depiction in video games, and on film. The Lee H. Katzin film Le Mans, starring Steve McQueen, used real race footage, and enjoys cult status. The 1986 arcade game WEC Le Mans was the first to portray endurance racing in a videogame, while Gran Turismo 4 and 5 extended this to a real-time simulation of 24 hour events. In the 2018 stealth video game Hitman 2, a level takes place amidst an endurance race in Miami, Florida, with a target being a racer in the event.

Motorcycle endurance racing
In the early days of endurance racing cars and motorcycles raced side by side, but the two were soon separated. The most notable motorcycle endurance race was the Bol d'Or, first run on the circuit of Vaujours, near Paris in 1922. Only one rider was permitted per bike and there was no stopping other than for refuelling.

Motorcycle endurance racing began to expand after the second World War as new races began to emerge, among them the 24 Hour Race in Warsage, Belgium in 1951, the 24 Hours of Montjuïc in Barcelona in 1957, 24 hours in Monza, Italy in 1959, and the Thruxton 500 mile endurance race at Thruxton, Hampshire, England in 1960.

1960 also saw the inaugural FIM Endurance Cup initially made up of four races, the Thruxton 500, Montjuich, Warsage, and the Bol d'Or.

The popularity of motorcycle endurance racing increased in the 1970s with the arrival of four-cylinder machines from Japan. In 1976 the FIM Endurance Cup became the European Championship and in 1980 a World Championship.

Notable motorbike endurance races
Motorcycle endurance classics:
 * 24 Hours of Le Mans
 * Bol d'Or (variously at the Le Mans, Paul Ricard and Magny Cours circuits; and earlier at Saint Germain, Fontainebleau, Monthly).
 * Thruxton 500 and
 * Suzuka 8 Hours
 * Albacete 8 Hours
 * Francorchamps Spa

Kart endurance racing
Endurance races last for an extended period, ranging from 30 minutes up to 24 hours or more, for one or more drivers. In general, consistency, reliability, and pit strategy is of greater importance than all out speed.

As well as the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans race for automobiles there is also a 24 hours event for karts which takes place at the kart circuit Alain Prost at Le Mans, France. This race has taken place since 1986 and its winners list include four times Champ Car champion Sébastien Bourdais (in 1996).

Endurance racing is also considered a more affordable way of getting into karting. In South Africa, the Prokart Africa 24 Hour Endurance race is held annually and lasts 24 hours with multiple classes participating. This event is hosted by the Prokart SSS Club [13] near Johannesburg. The most popular class runs the Honda GX390 Four Stroke engine, which is both affordable and durable, keeping running costs to a minimum. The Prokart Super Single Series, also known as Prokart SSS, has been running for more than 20 years and has proven to be a very popular entry platform for drivers of all ages who want to get into karting. Many clubs worldwide have taken onto Four Stroke Endurance Karting for this very reason, since Two Stroke karting can be very expensive. Add the reliability of Four Stroke engines and you have a perfect recipe for endurance racing.

Notable motorboat endurance races
24 Heures Motonautiques de Rouen - take place on the Seine River

Other forms

 * In addition to the annual car and motorcycle race, the Circuit de la Sarthe also holds 24 hour races in cycling, karting, trucks, and road skating.
 * A unique event involving an endurance race between lawn mowers takes place in the United Kingdom, called the "BLMRA 12 Hour Race".

Weingarten (Baden)

Weingarten (Baden) is a municipality in the district of Karlsruhe in southwestern Germany, situated at the transition from the Kraichgau to the Rhine valley. Its name means wine garden in German. Weingarten is located on the Bertha Benz Memorial Route.

While remains of a settlement from Roman or earlier times have been found nearby, the village itself developed from a farm belonging to the Wissembourg monastery in Northern Alsace; 985 is considered to be the village's founding year. Until 1803, Weingarten belonged to the Electorate of the Palatinate; in the course of the Napoleonic wars it became part of the Grand Duchy of Baden.

The population is about two thirds Protestant, one third Catholic. The village is connected by Bundesstraße (federal road) B 3 and the railroad Frankfurt am Main-Basel. Close by is the Bundesautobahn (motorway) A 5 for the Karlsruhe-Frankfurt am Main route.

The village has its own elementary and secondary school; additional schools are in the neighbouring cities of Karlsruhe, Bruchsal, and Stutensee.

The village's main industries are wine and fruit production, gastronomy, and wood, chemical, and metal production.

For recreation, there are sports fields, an indoor swimming pool, a recreational lake, and the nature reserve Weingartener Moor. Also part of the municipality are the settlements Sallenbusch and Sohl in the Kraichgau hills, and Waldbrücke on the plain. The settlement of Sallenbusch was founded in June 1951 and constructed with the aid of U.S. soldiers. The first settlers arrived in July 1952.

Monty Roberts

Marvin Earl "Monty" Roberts MVO (born May 14, 1935) is an American horse trainer who promotes his techniques of natural horsemanship through his Join-Up International organization, named after the core concept of his training method. Roberts believes that horses use a non-verbal language, which he terms "Equus," and that humans can use this language to communicate with horses. In order to promulgate his methods, Roberts has authored a number of books including his original best-seller, The Man Who Listens to Horses, and regularly tours with a live demonstration. He runs an Equestrian Academy in Solvang, California and an "online university" to promote his ideas.

Early life
Monty Roberts was born in Salinas, California and is the son of horse trainer Marvin E Roberts, who authored his own self-published book, Horse and Horseman Training, in 1957. Roberts claims that his father also beat him as a child, although other family members, including his younger brother Larry, dispute this version of events, with his aunt and cousin, Joyce Renebome and Debra Ristau, specifically refuting the allegation in the book Horse Whispers & Lies.

Roberts competed in rodeo and won his first trophy at the age of four. He attended California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo ("Cal Poly") and riding for their rodeo team, he won two National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) National Championships, including National NIRA Champion Bulldogger in 1957, the NIRA Champion Team Roping in 1956. He graduated from Cal Poly in 1959 with a degree in animal science.

In 1966, Roberts assisted in the founding of Flag Is Up Farms, of which he is now the full owner. From 1973 to 1986, he was a leading consignor to the Hollywood Park Two-Year-Old Thoroughbreds in Training Sale. In 2004, Roberts’ German-bred horse Sabiango won major races throughout the US.

Career
Roberts describes in his books and web site how he was sent to Nevada at the age of 13 in order to round up horses for the Salinas Rodeo Association's Wild Horse Race, and there began observing mustangs interact with each other. It was there he realized that horses use a discernible, effective and predictable body language to communicate, set boundaries, show fear and express annoyance, relaxation or affection. Roberts states he came to understand that utilizing this silent language would allow training to commence in a much more effective and humane manner, encouraging true partnership between horses and humans. Roberts describes this language as Equus and he refers to it frequently in his books, tours and demonstrations.

In his books, he has written about how he strongly disagreed with his father's equine training methods, which he described as "almost torturing the animals into submission". Morever, Marvin Roberts' own book has described training methods similar to the "Join-up" technique developed by son. However, critics have also noted parallels between the training methods of both father and son. In 2000 critics of Roberts registered a website using his name: www.montyroberts.org. After litigation, WIPO ruled against these parties stating they had "engaged in abusive registration" and transferred ownership to Roberts. Roberts says the website owners tried to blackmail him for US$90,000 to transfer the domain name.

Three documentaries on Roberts have been released. The first was the 1997 documentary BBC/PBS Monty Roberts: The Real Horse Whisperer. It showed Roberts as he set out to tame a wild mustang without enclosures, and his developing relationship with the horse later known as Shy Boy. Other documentaries include the 1999 film Shy Boy: The Horse That Came in from the Wild and a 2005 documentary on Roberts' work with wild horses and another about his work with aboriginal youth on Palm Island, Australia. In 2006, a DVD series with 17 episodes, named A Backstage Pass! was completed and broadcast in the UK. The series has also been broadcast in the US on the HRTV cable channel. He has his own show on Horse & Country TV, Backstage Pass with Monty Roberts.

Live demonstrations
Roberts travels around the world, demonstrating his method of horse training to paying audiences, as well as volunteering time for audiences such as incarcerated youth in juvenile detention facilities. Roberts also teaches his techniques to students at his Equestrian Academy in Solvang, California, acts as a consultant at schools with disciplinary issues in the UK and the US, and advises executives at Fortune 500 companies. He also runs the "Equus Online University" to promote his ideas.

Royal connections
An event which would change the direction of his life was an invitation in 1989 from the offices of Queen Elizabeth II, who was an avid horsewoman. After hearing about Roberts' training techniques, she invited him to come to the United Kingdom to demonstrate his "Join Up" method to her stable staff. After watching his demonstration, Roberts said the Queen urged him to write a book about his nonviolent methods, which became The Man Who Listens to Horses. During his book tour of the UK in 1996, Roberts presented a copy of his book to the Queen.

In 2002 Roberts returned to Windsor Castle as part of the Queen's Golden Jubilee. In the 2011 Birthday Honours, Roberts was appointed an Honorary Member of the Royal Victorian Order (MVO) "for services to Her Majesty's racing establishment". In June 2012, the Queen, as Patron of Join–Up International, attended the Guards Polo Club, and along with Roberts presented awards to international polo trainers from South and Central America in recognition of their work in promoting the non–violent training of horses.

After the death of the Queen on 8 September 2022, Roberts was invited to her funeral on 19 September.

Writing
Roberts has published several books. His first was the autobiographical The Man Who Listens to Horses which was published in 1996, which was on the New York Times Bestsellers list for 58 weeks, and translated into more than 15 languages, selling more than five million copies worldwide. Roberts has written other books, including best-selling Shy Boy: The Horse That Came in from the Wild (1999), Horse Sense for People (2001), From My Hands to Yours (2002), The Horses in My Life (2005) and Ask Monty (2007).

Awards
In 2002, Roberts received an honorary doctorate in animal psychology from the University of Zurich, Switzerland and in 2005 he gained an honorary doctorate in animal psychology from the University of Parma, Italy. In 2004, the Girl Scouts of the USA commissioned a special Join-Up badge and training program in honor of Roberts' work, and in 2005 he became the first foreign-born recipient of the German Silbernes Pferd (Silver Horse) Award for outstanding contributions to promoting the love of horses. In December 2008, readers of the British equestrian magazine Your Horse named Monty Roberts Personality of the Year 2008.

Talk:Rick DiPietro

Untitled
Just an observation---Rick DiPietro is not a Canadian anything. He never even played on a Canadian team, juniors or otherwise. What's up with referring to him as a "Canadian rookie ice hockey goalie"???

Not the first goaltender to go first overall in the draft
That honor belongs to Michel Plasse —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DeadEyeArrow (talk • contribs) 04:46, 17 January 2007 (UTC).

True, it would be more accurate to call DiPietro the first goalie to be selected number one in the NHL Entry Draft. Prior to 1979, it was called the NHL Amateur Draft (as only players who had never played pro hockey were allowed to be drafted). The draft age was also lowered by one year in '79... --rsgdodge 20:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Contract
Can someone please find a source that says the NHL discouraged the 15-year deal and that he signed a 1-year deal? He is not listed on NHL.com's Free Agent list nor on their signed list, as he would've been a free agent this year had he signed a 1-year deal. If no source can be found, the article should be changed. --David7581 04:07, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I think you misunderstand the article. It does not say that he signed a 1 year deal last summer. Croctotheface 04:17, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * If it is a misunderstanding, it's because of the wording: "Newsday reported that the team offered him a 15-year contract in September 2005, but the league discouraged this, instead he signed a one-year offer." The part at the end that says "instead he signed a one-year offer." is what I'm talking about. --David7581 04:21, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, it does say 2005, but I don't recall him being a free agent last year, and I've seen sites still listing him as being under the 15-year deal. --David7581 04:24, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Okay, now I see it, but I still think the paragraph should be rearranged chronologically. --David7581 04:26, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * It could be, but I don't think it's necessary. Maybe "the year prior" would be better language than "in September 2005", but it's appropriate to mention the 1-year deal after and in the context of the longer deal.  The 1-year deal would not be significant enough to mention if not for the rest of the story.  Also, and this is probably neither here nor there, but I think that WP articles are a little too wedded to chronology as an organizing method.  Organization by topic, with the most important topic coming first, would be appropriate in a decent number of articles. Croctotheface 04:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Intro
This article is not an editorial. The words many beleive sould be used with overatedness and his ridiculous contract. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.78.63 (talk) 11:31, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Birth City
In the first sentence, it says DiPietro was born in Massachusetts while the sidebar says he was born in Maine. Just bringing it to everyone's attention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.111.88.207 (talk) 00:34, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This seems to be a regular discrepancy. IIRC, the NHL games list him as a native of Massachusetts, as does Yahoo sports and even NHL.com, while ESPN.com, CBS Sports and a number of other sites list him as a Lewiston native.  There's even an entry for DiPietro on classmates.com, stating that he graduated Lewiston High School in 1998.  In the meantime, I've listed him as being born in Maine and included two references.  I will, however, do more research about this, and hopefully we can get to the bottom of it.  Kntrabssi (talk) 20:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Photo Choice is Terrible
Why is the photo of Rick DiPietro one of him hunched over like that? You cant see his face, his number, anything. There are thousands of better pictures of Rick- I just don't know how to change it. TheMetalChick (talk) 05:41, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Google Link has profanity
If you Google his name, the description for this article says "Template:Infobox Ice Hockey Player that sucks dick" which doesn't appear in the edit box and I can't figure out how to delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kopitarian (talk • contribs) 04:00, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Retirement
I removed the section written about his retirement, as no credible sources were provided to back up the "quietly retired from the NHL" statement. The last news about this is mere speculation that dates no more recently than late November of 2013, after his release from the Charlotte Checkers. Crimson667 (talk) 15:05, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
