“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

A very good lesson this week, and also quite funny! Bruce couldn't figure out what the person behind him wanted. He's encouraged to go forward and he backs up a couple times lol! He gets the hang of it eventually when Monty stepped in.

What a character - a big, gentle giant. You could see him trying to figure things out, he seems like a lovely horse to work with and very forgiving of mistakes.

Rode a clydesdale/quarter horse cross a few weeks ago across country and she was great - big and powerful but gentle. Used to have a clydesdale/tb cross as a showjumper many years ago and he was the same - nothing fazed him and very gentle. He lived his years out on a clydesdale stud accoasionally riding around the farm to check the fences. They are really lovely animals. Jan

I rode a big draft horse once. He was very gentle, and small for his size so he was able to be used as a riding horse.

Funny! The Umbrella rider was my favorite part, especially when Martin took a picture.. . This Lesson was a Breath of Fresh Air. Started a Percheron Gelding once. He was so laid back, it was a lot of fun.
This lesson also reminded me of the Percheron Team I was taught to plow with. It is interesting to watch the young ones being started.
