I think the board is showing something getting on for 7,000 members currently signed up which just goes to show the huge amount of people who follow and show interest in IH. Thank you for inspiring us all and please, keep on inspiring people.

You need some praise too Monty, you deal with humans in just the same way you deal with horses, you help them to help themselves. This was borne out when i helped you put up some banners at one of the demos, how you used questions rather than statements to motivate people. How little talk you needed to succeed, your attention to detail on the night and the fact that you watched and praised all the little things. A good teacher makes the learner not realise he has learnt. This has spread (with kelly as well) through to Ih here on the web. You have just written a book, form my hands to yours, you say you wanted to leave the world a better place than you found it, you have surley done this ;D

Monty - you and Kelly have given me the courage and inspiration to take on my youngster and to bring him up in the best way I can. Only a short while ago, I would not have thought it possible for me to do this, so THANK YOU! Please keep on visiting us. Catherine. x x

I've found the DG a really helpful place over the last several years. I remember it well in its old format! It is a great resource.
I first saw Monty many years ago and first enlisted the help of an RA in 1998, 10 years ago. Both those events have changed the lives of my horses. I was never the kind of "if it doesn't do it hit it" type but IH made me think a lot more about how I was communicating with my horses and how I could do it better.
It is easy to be negative about the DG when it is going through one of "those phases" but in reality, the DG is bigger than some negative individuals and is a great resource to us all. Thanks to Kelly for making it available and Monty for setting us off down this path in the first places. I'm quite sure my horses appreciate it!

What a lovley thread!
Its thanks to seeing a Monty + Kelly Tour that i approached the owner of the horse i had been loaning for a month about buying her, beliveing that with the help of IH ways i would cope after an unwanted break from horses - i did and im here now 3 years down the line with four horses 2 of those Zorelle and her foal spirit who i managed to rescue from france as zorelle in foal was due to be slaughetered and its through the DG i found out about this mares plight and then to Liz P (RA) that she had a chance of being handled kindly and with love and patience and then they are now with Sarah Dent (RA) learning more and trusting more and more. Then i hope to be able to try and carry on this work by attending the Courses run by IH so i think the praise should be Kept for you.. Monty, Kelly and the whole team!

It was particularly interesting to me that she used the comment 'It whispers correction and shouts praise'. Monty Roberts What a wonderful description...I think it extends to more of your teaching than just the Dually Monty.

I was at the Grange last night,I was also at the Grange the night when Monty was forced to come on here & defend himself re the Buckstop, it seeming to be the place that gets the concentration of quirky horses.I know it sounds soppy but I am in awe of the work that Monty & Kelly do,always coming away from a demo in an almost dazed way, being so inspired I don't know where to start.How they must have felt when they saw the mare they had to work with last night whom they had given such a great start, come back to them in such a state of fear of pain is beyond me.Seeing the honest little mare slowly beginning to trust again, & remembering the understanding she had received in Monty's hands previously fills me with emotion.Monty & Kelly,it is a privilege to be a party to the knowledge you so freely give,thank you for giving us an alternative.XX

Lovely post Monty. I have to say without IH, Hannibal and myself would not have learnt so much about each other or how to succeed as a team.

'whispers correction and shouts praise'. Yet another extremely powerful phrase from IH that will now stay with me for life! Thanks Monty and all the team from me and my horses xxx
