“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 really would like to take the certification courses for a future career, but I don't have my own horse. Do you have to own one?

No. I started my path at MRILC without a horse-didn't get one until after I'd done a few courses in Solvang. I'm hoping to go back in the fall for my Advanced Exam. I think you will want one, or at least one to lease, as having your own on call is invaluable for practice purposes. I wish you luck!

Hi,
I do not have my own horse. I leased one for three years which really helped me learn things.
I recently completed the Introductory Course at Flag is Up. It is amazing and if you are a horse addict now - just wait until you take the course. It is addicting. I hope to go back for examzs in September. I am very lucky in that I have many frinds with horses who are willing to let me do join ups and long lining.

You posted a response to me about Uno- which I thank you again for because I went to lesson two of join up as you suggested and you are right it was what i needed to hear. I am waiting to see Uno again a few more calm horses and I will go back to him.
Good luck to you. if you can get to Flag is Up it is great- It took me three years to save the money including plane fare and hotel costs.
It was worth it!!! I highly recommend it.
Take care
