Join us for a special movie night at Gorton Center to watch The Cowboy and the Queen. This inspiring film tells the story of renegade horse trainer Monty Roberts and his unexpected friendship with Queen Elizabeth II. Together, they work to spread Monty’s nonviolent approach to horse training, overcoming fierce skepticism from traditionalists in the equestrian world. The movie beautifully captures their unlikely alliance and the impact they have in changing the way the world thinks about horses.

Director Andrea Blaugrund Nevins expertly brings this heartwarming tale to the screen, showcasing the deep bond that forms between Monty and the Queen. Through their collaboration, they challenge outdated practices and demonstrate the power of compassion and understanding. With stunning cinematography and compelling performances, the film highlights both Monty’s groundbreaking methods and the Queen’s quiet but steadfast support.

The Cowboy and the Queen is more than just a film about horse training. It’s about overcoming adversity, challenging norms, and believing in a better way. Their journey proves that even the most unlikely of partnerships can create lasting change, making this an unforgettable cinematic experience.
