About this person
He believed that horses use a non-verbal language, which he termed "Equus", and that humans can use this language to communicate with horses. In order to promulgate his methods, Roberts authored a number of books including his original best-seller, The Man Who Listens to Horses, and regularly toured with a live demonstration. He ran an Equestrian Academy in Solvang, California, and an "online university" to promote his ideas until his death on 2026.
