Greetings!
Question  

What inspired you to dedicate your life to travel all over to educate and spread non-violent methods of working horses?

Answer 

Queen Elizabeth II is a very inspirational world leader. Her encouragement ranks high on the list of those who are responsible for my obsession. Education is the only way to plant the seed of change. 

Sincerely,

HORSE SENSE & HEALING WORKSHOPS

August 30 to September 1, 2019
Horse Sense & Healing for Veterans and First Responders: Read more about Monty's life changing workshops here:
REDUCING VIOLENCE THROUGH WORKSHOPS
WITH HORSES GLOBALLY

These kids from Trebago Child Welfare have never had the opportunity to be with horses in a therapeutic context; and perhaps they won’t again. But studies have shown that even just a few hours with an inspiring person (or horse?) can have a permanent and positive effect in a young person’s life. We wish we could do more in Lead-Up. But at the very least we are planting a seed; a seed of non-violence, self awareness and resilience

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!
