“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
Monty Roberts is a renowned horse trainer known as the man who listens to horses and the original horse whisperer. Monty's horse training instructions are accepted worldwide.
Monty has helped thousands of people globally through his Monty Roberts Online Videos to learn how to Join-Up with horses, training young horses, spooky horses, horses that bite. His mustang , Shy Boy , is his most famous horse.
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.
Monty’s principles really amount to common sense and immense patience. He believes that children and horses have the same behavioral patterns. They are both naturally “flight” animals. "If you frighten them and resort to confrontation, you’ll lose their trust." ~ Monty
"Simple one-on-one reassurances and praise reap long term dividends that can all be undone with the quick slamming of a book on a desk or shouting back." ~ Monty Roberts
"No one of us was born with the right to say 'You must or I'll hurt you' to any other living thing, animal or human". ~ Monty Roberts
"My life's goal is to leave the world a better place than I found it, for horses and for people too". ~ Monty Roberts

I noticed the next lesson is about acupuncture. I personally don't believe in this type of procedure and it seems like they are going to do this on a horse? That's weird in my opinion.

Hi Horse addict,
I'm notgoing to try to convince you of something I don't know much about, but I do have some experience with acupuncture myself and was really happy with the result.
I had a tetanus- vaccination years ago that formed a cyst, my neighbour (phyician specialized in acupuncture) put three needles around the cyst, had me relax for 15 minutes and that was it, two weeks later you couldn't even guess where the cyst had been!
Why don't we wait and see, what the lesson will teaches us?

Well our family has had a lot of acuputure done.
First when I was diagnosed with liver cancer, in 1986, acupuncture was preformed on me, I'm still here!!!!
And after my car accident we tried everything to help manage with the pain, this was all that helped me to regain the use of my arm. My acupuncturist is from China and has been doing this most of her life and was trained by a master.
After my husbands brain injury, last year, he too has been seeing a acupuncturist, from China, and it is remarkable to see the progress he has made.
I know it works, I have seen so many people helped by this proven medicine.
They will even preform acupuncture for a person who has to have root canal preformed and cannot take any form of freezing, yet with the acupuncture they will feel no pain !!!
I have never seen it done on an equine but I am interested to see how it will be done and by whom.
I'm hoping you all won't go out and buy a bunch of needles and start poking at your horses!!!!!
Can you see the cartoon: horse standing with the look of surprise on it's face and water squirting out from everywhere, :)

Ronda i am laughing very hard from your last sentence! I will be looking forward to seeing the acupuncture video.

Looking forward to this vid, too!
It's my experience that acupuncture works IF applied correctly! It's vital that you know exactly where and how to do this, so always use a professional.
In Sweden it isn't allowed (legally or otherwise) to perform this without a license and proper education. I also think you need to be a vet to perform it on animals. (My vet does it, btw, so she certainly believes in it!)
