He has written this book to tell their stories, to put them centre stage. Here are all the horses though out his life that have had a special significance: from his first mount, Ginger, through the champion show horses and sprinters, to those he is working with today despite being nearly seventy years old!

THE HORSES IN MY LIFE gives a unique insight into his non-aggressive methods and how his relationship with each horse developed. It is an inspirational collection of vignettes that reveals his love and respect for these noble animals. We are invited not only to get to know the individual horses but to share the immense joy that Monty found with them. B & W and colour photos
