Greetings!
Question 

Is it true that each autumn you go to the UK and work with horses owned by Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth II and start her young most precious horses there?
 
Answer 

It is true that I start each crop of Thoroughbred yearlings for Her Majesty and have done so for the past ten years.   I have been fortunate to receive an MVO distinction from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and we maintain a friendship since 1989, when she first requested I demonstrate my methods with her horses. It was The Queen who encouraged me to write my autobiography, The Man Who Listens to Horses , which has sold more than six million copies.

Sincerely,
The Duchess of Cornwall, and Queen Elizabeth II with Monty at the Royal Mews, Buckingham Palace

ONLINE PRODUCT REVIEW
"I received the Medium Dually Training Halter Join Up Kit . I found the halter to be high quality construction, the book and DVDs to be very clear and informative. While our horses (Haflingers), are pretty much broke (desensitized) we are hoping by the adoption and use of Monty's methods to greatly improve our relationship with them. Thank you for the timely shipment of this kit."

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!
