“I am very proud to be a part of Her Majesty’s horse training and her passion for their welfare. I believe she is the leading monarch for the advocacy of horses in the world. She is a thought leader in this field. Her Majesty's horses are trained using the Dually Halter, making a difference in the training of sensitive animals by giving the horse the choice to partner in the training.” ~ Monty
“I communicate with a horse in what I call the Language of Equus; a silent language of gestures that is discernible, predictable and effective. Now you can learn from my videos, audio and notes to help you understand the horse as I do. This language is really quite simple, but simplicity becomes its greatest strength.” ~ Monty

Join-Up methods help horse and trainer to establish a bond of communication and trust. “You must somehow understand that we as horsemen can do very little to teach the horse. What we can do is to create an environment in which he can learn.” ~ Monty
Monty says, “We hear that ‘actions speak louder than words,’ but generally we do not live by it too successfully.” Now Monty has taught thousands of people worldwide how to build trust in animals through our actions and body language.

"My life's goal is to leave the world a better place than I found it, for horses and for people too". ~ Monty Roberts

Has anyone noticed a difference when using the tiny wasp marketed as Fly Eliminators? We have a Chicken Manure Composting Facility behind our farm, about 50 acres away. There is defiantly an increase in flies!
Thank you in advance for any input!

Hi Sarah!

I had to Google Fly Eliminators to understand what you were asking about.
Obviously, I don't have any experience myself, but extensive Googling taught me a couple of things that seemed important to any form of success, according to users as well as manufacturers.

1. there are apparently a number of different species, and you need to get hold of the specie/s that work in your particular area.

2. the wasps are tiny and don't travel more than 300 feet and since they prey on the pupae, not the adult fly, so you need to release them where the flies breed, and you need to release several times during the season since flies breeds a lot faster than these wasps.

They talk about Fly predators, but it is more or less the same thing (I think!).

And maybe you already knew all this, but I hope it is of some help anyway. :)
