Eudora: you have to have seen the Tv specials or actually have met him to get the full effect. i seen a half hour special and cried my eyes out. (i had only been told of the breaking methods of horses, but i knew there had to be a better way.) he is a person who can actually talk to horses. he uses their language to tell them what he wants from them and to find out how they are feeling. one of my most favorite books is one written by him called "Shy Boy" named for the horse it is about. a wild mustange he had ridable in six days. that's from the starting point of choosing the one he wanted on the plain. (this came up upon a challage that there was no way someone could tame a wild mustange by talking to it. so history was made.) i'd have to say Monty Roberts is my #2 hero.
have you tried looking anything up on him on the internet?
i cried when i hear his life story. his dad had beat him because he refused to break horses and suggested that it wasn't right.

why do i get caught up in these things. i suggest people look up something and then i go looking myself.

Wow!!!! *huge sigh* i am not going to edit any of what i just wrote! i have just had my heart torn out and stomped on, spit upon and scraped into a trash barrel. and am so on the edge of tears. http://citizensforjustice.org/monty/

still, at any rate, the world is alot more aware about more humane ways of treating horses. that is the bright side. well, my whole existance just became a shade darker. ok, if anyone wants to start comforting me now would be a good time to start. this is one of the worst moments in my life.
