“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

How many of you watched this lesson with tears in their eyes?

Gen (Queensland, Australia) 2011-Jun-02 at 02:04AM

I did.

Monty is one of the most sincere people I have ever met. I watched a Pirelli demo on TV and it seemed it was all about him and the horse was just a prop.
I have learned so much from the video lessons and the training is so easy to do. No gimmicks and a master teacher to learn from.

Cheers

I've watched many other trainers on RFDTV, but none have really inspired me as Monty has. The very first time I saw him do Join-Up on TV, I was 8 years old. I was so fascinated with what I saw that I took some of my plastic toy horses I had, and tried to imitate what he did. It was a privilege to meet him in person last year.

Gen (Queensland, Australia) 2011-Jun-02 at 12:38PM

Yes, Monty does inspire people. I am always so amazed at how easy and logical his methods are; and how they work!
.
I have only come across Monty Roberts within the last year and I am loving everything I am learning here on the Uni. I hope one day I get to meet him :-)

Me too, I was emotional. He understands what horses are telling us because he has been through the same treatment with his father.

Joy 2011-Jun-04 at 02:45PM

Me too!! He truly cares about the horses. It's a blessing to see and learn how to do the same!

Yeah I watched the first lesson of Rocky with a lot of tears in my eyes. Today I watched lesson no 3 and 4 and it really touched me. You are right, Dennis, many other trainers just like to listen to their own talking when working with horses on their videos. Monty is highly concentrated in this demos and - I cannot repeat it often enough - you can tell every moment you watch him that he enjoys what he is doing from the bottom of his heart. He is always searching for a new idea and he does decide in a moment to try something new just to find the best way to help a horse. I didn't know that his father tied a leg of his beloved Brownie too... good god. I remember that he told us during the "special training" class in 2005 0r 2006 that the wood which lies on an old phone box standing in his saloon at home was a rest of Ginger's and Brownies stable which had been torn down. He safed these pieses of wood memorising his love for his first horses. Let's pass on the voice about his method just to make sure one day there is no corner of this world where horsepeople don't know him. This will reduce violence in the horseworld a lot.

Hi I have watched Monty for several years now but only recently attended one of his demos - the one in Bedfordshire in February this year - where he also worked with a headshy horse. I was in tears then and I have been watching the way Monty worked with Rocky. It is just wonderful how he knows just the right way to communicate with horses. Love you Monty.
