Critics Review
“Everybody who is interested in horses can gain great insights from Monty Roberts’s years of experience.”
—Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation and Animals Make Us Human
“Like Beethoven and Bach, Monty has taught us that we can find truth and beauty in the faces of our fellow creatures, whether they have two legs or four.”
—John Williams, composer and conductor
“‘In this meaningful book, Monty gives us the privilege of learning from him, sharing his last pieces of wisdom, which, as was his humble way, he makes sure to let the reader know are not his own, but the wisdom of the horses he has worked for a lifetime to hear. Readers will be moved and changed by Monty’s powerful personal story, profound lessons, and lifetime of love shared in this extraordinary book.”
—Sarah Maslin Nir, two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Horse Crazy and the Once Upon a Horse series
“Her Majesty, the Queen invited me to Windsor Castle to see and meet Monty Roberts. Since that day 37 years ago, he has been a wonderful teacher and I have used his concepts in serving Queen Elizabeth as Her Stud Groom. Monty always said, ‘You can’t teach anyone, you can only provide an environment in which people can choose to learn.’ I had the Queen’s complete support using Monty’s teaching, and Her Majesty valued Monty’s friendship and expertise in the equine world.”
—Terry Pendry, CVO BEM, former stud groom to Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and military knight of Windsor at Windsor Castle
