Her Majesty the Queen and the Horse Whisperer

In his Stetson and red neckerchief he could be mistaken for just another American tourist on the streets of Windsor hoping for a glimpse of the Queen. But unlike the other sightseers, Monty Roberts is here at Her Majesty’s personal invitation, having served as a trusted adviser on her beloved horses and corgis for the past 23 years.

Monty first arrived at Windsor Castle in 1989, after the Queen heard about the Californian’s ability to tame wild horses using gestures and noises. Her Majesty has benefited from his techniques ever since.

The Queen even personally invited Monty to ride in the glittering Pageant of Horses, which kicked off the major celebrations for her diamond jubilee.
