The Horses In My Life Review

This book arrived when you said it would and it is in very good condition. Thanks

A Book Where the Love Comes Through

This book is a set of stories about the horses in Mr. Roberts life, not all of them, but a collection of sixty or so. It starts with the first horse in his life and ends with a horse named Johnny Tivio that he road to win numerous championship event. Mr. Roberts stresses in this book that these are the horses that taught him things. Mr. Roberts, the author of the best selling 'The Man who Listens to Horses,' clearly loves horses. In this book, that love comes through. Each horse is treated with respect and understanding, perhaps more than you would normally think goes to an animal. Perhaps, but it makes it easy to see why Mr. Roberts has chosen to spend a lifetime with horses. Knowing that the horses are long lived, there is a bit of trajedy here as each horse goes to his own ending. But that too is part of life. This is not a book on how to train horses, not even about how to ride horses. This is a life of loving horses.

I loved it!

It was fascinating to follow how the different experiences with horses led Monty to become the person he is today. I have seen him work in person and it is truly amazing to watch what he can do. Learning more about what the horses have taught him gave me even more insight.

I loved it!

This is a great bunch of stories and such a marvelous perspective on a rich life involved with animals - pure love!

I laughed and cried and read it it one sitting!

Monty says these horses made him the amazing trainer that he is and it is a fascinating journey through the decades of his life. He created a movement that will forever change the way we treat animals - not just horses. I read a review by the American Library Association touting this book and they are right on!
