Having worked with disabled persons (young and old) in combination with horses, I know what healing effect horses can have.
Still, my first thought is that this is nothing short of remarkable and stunningly wonderful; an incredible gift of healing from Monty, his crew and the horses, to people with severe (mental)injuries.
Their smiles, as the horses shows their trust in them, shines like a light from within, that touches me deeply.
It's so simple, really, and yet so ingenious!

I sincerely hope that Alicia W. will be able to carry this torch with her through Harvard and help spread this method to be, not just fully accepted, but something that is practiced all over the world.

Bless you, Monty, for this accomplishment! But also for persisting through the years with your work, and your belief in yourself and your methods. It must be so awarding now to see where you are. What pity it didn't happen sooner and faster!
Rest assured that you truly will leave this world a better place than you found it - for both horses and men. What a fantastic life achievement for one man!
