Greetings!
Question 
  
What example of experience of dread or terror have you experienced or witnessed in your horses, if any?

Answer 

Every horse, every day has given me some evidence that experiences in the past have produced dread or terror. A perfect example of this is a horse I worked with in the last hour. One can accomplish virtually anything with this particular individual, unless you are in sight of a racing starting gate. Stevie Wonder could see the terror within the brain cells of this horse when he is near a racing gate. Since I did not see what caused this, I won’t speculate. 

Sincerely,

MONTY'S CHALLENGE

Test yourself each week as I challenge you to answer the question below. I mean this. Sit down and write an answer. Don't wait for my answer next week. If you have been reading my Weekly Questions and Answers for the last six months, you should be in a position to do this. Send your answer to my team at:  askmonty@montyroberts.com  
 
Why should you bother? Because it will help you focus. There is probably a comparable question in your life that needs answering... or will be. If you can gain insight into how to go about answering a practical question that is loosely related to your problem, this exercise will help you answer your nagging question. Then read my answer. I want all of my students to learn to be better trainers than me.That's good for you and good for horses!

NEXT WEEK'S QUESTION

What example(s) of experience of wonder or curiosity have you experienced or witnessed in your horses, if any?


PAT ROBERTS SCULPTURE
From the collection of Pat Roberts Sculpture

Javelena Havoc
Limited edition of 35, 26 x 27 x 17 inches, bronze.

“Javelinas live in the southwest in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. It was a lot of fun studying photos of javelinas and engineering the piece so that the horse could have the appearance of flying through the air as he tried to get away from the scary creature his irresponsible rider had roped. You can just imagine where the cowboy is going to land!” - Pat Roberts
