Greetings!
Question 

You have a great love and a very special attention for mustangs and you've trained a lot of wild mustangs. Are mustangs different from domestic horses? Why are they so special?
 
Answer 

One should remember that mustangs are feral and not just wild horses. These horses were wild in Africa before domestication in Spain and Portugal. They were brought across a narrow strip of water to work the cattle in that part of the world. The Spanish explorers brought them to the Western United States to work the cattle for the leather they produced. They are intelligent, athletic and, if properly treated, can love their work.

Sincerely,
MONTY ROBERTS' ONLINE UNIVERSITY

MONTY'S CHALLENGE

Test yourself each week as I challenge you to answer the question below. I mean this. Sit down and write an answer. Don't wait for my answer next week. If you have been reading my Weekly Questions and Answers for the last six months, you should be in a position to do this. Send your answer to my team at:  askmonty@montyroberts.com  
 
Why should you bother? Because it will help you focus. There is probably a comparable question in your life that needs answering... or will be. If you can gain insight into how to go about answering a practical question that is loosely related to your problem, this exercise will help you answer your nagging question. Then read my answer. I want all of my students to learn to be better trainers than me.That's good for you and good for horses!

Save the dates!
June 21 to 23, 2020, with Monty Roberts and Temple Grandin

The fourth week in June 2020 is being held for the third annual event that centers on the qualities of horses to teach us how to lower stress and build trust at Monty Roberts’ Flag Is Up Farms, in Solvang, California.

Dr. Temple Grandin , professor of animal science at Colorado State University, consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior, and autism spokesperson is one of the first individuals on the autism spectrum to publicly share insights from her personal experience of autism and its relation to animals. Dr. Grandin will discuss autism, the flight animal and its advantage in working with horses. Whether you are a member of the autism community or horse community, you will find Temple’s presentation unforgettable.

“Autism helped me understand animals because I think in pictures. Since animals do not have language, their memories have to be sensory-based instead of word-based, ” said Dr. Temple Grandin.
