Monty is The Man Who Listens to Horses (http://www.montyroberts.com/ju_about.html)Monty Roberts, known as the “Man Who Listens to Horses” has led an extraordinary life. An award-winning trainer of championship horses, best-selling author, Hollywood stunt man, foster dad to 47 children (in addition to three of his own) and creator of the world-renowned and revolutionary equine training technique called Join~Up, Monty Roberts could now, in his later years, be resting on his laurels -- but that’s not his style.Roberts has won countless awards and received immense worldwide press coverage, put three books on the New York Times best-seller list, trained some of Queen Elizabeth II’s equestrian team in London and been awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Zurich. But if you go looking for Monty Roberts, you won’t find him lounging in his favorite chair high up in the hills overlooking his horse-training farm in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley. The “man who listens to horses” is more likely to be found somewhere on the globe continuing to spread his message of nonviolence. You’re more likely to find him speaking to incarcerated youth in a juvenile detention facility, gentling his 15,000th horse at a demonstration, teaching his techniques to the growing number of students at his Equestrian Academy in Solvang, California or advising executives at Fortune 500 companies.Thanks Monty for contributing to a BETTER WORLD FOR HORSES PEOPLE!

She weighed only four pounds and stood seven inches tall. Smoky was found by an American Soldier in a Foxhole in the New Guinea Jungle. She was sold to Corporal William A. Wynne of Cleveland, Ohio for 2 Australian Pounds (equal to $6.44 at the time). For the next two years, Smoky back-packed through the rest of the war and accompanied Wynne on Cobat flights in the Pacific and throught the jungle of New Guinea. Throughout her service, Smoky slept in Wynne's tent on a blanket made from a green feltcard table cover; she shared Wynne's c-ration's and an occasional can of Spam Unlike the “official” war dogs of World War II, Smoky had neither medical care nor a Balanced Diet formulated especially for dogs. Smoky Served in the South Pacific with the 5th Air Force, 26th Photo Recon Squadron [and] flew 12 air/sea rescue and photo reconnaissance missions. [6] On those flights, Smoky spent long hours dangling in a soldier's pack near machine guns used to ward off enemy fighters.[4] Smoky was credited with twelve combat missions and awarded eight battle stars.[7] She survived 150 air raids on New Guinea and made it through a typhoon at Okinawa.[5] Smoky even jumped from a 30-foot tower with a specially made parachute.[2] Wynne credited Smoky with saving his life by warning him of incoming shells on an LST (transport ship), calling her an angel from a foxhole. As the ship deck was booming and vibrating from anti-aircraft gunnery, Smoky guided Wynne to duck the fire that hit 8 men standing next to them.[4] After the end of World War II, Wynne brought Smoky back to Cleveland, Ohio to live with his family. Smoky was the first therapy dog of record. Her service in this arena began in July 1944 at the 233rd Station Hospital, in New Guinea. She appeared on many shows and made alot of people laugh. But, on February 21, 1957, Corporal Smoky died unexpectedly at the approximate age of 14. Sinbad, the Coast Guard's most famous mascot. He was adopted by a crewman from the cutter Campbell prior to World War II. He was so beloved by the crew that they actually enlisted him in the Coast Guard. Sinbad served faithfully through thick and thin, surviving combat with the Germans and Japanese, causing a few international incidents with his antics, and even having a book written about him.
