“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.

I had the opportunity just recently to prove to a traditional horseman that the Dually halter was superior to tying a horses feet up in order to get some medicine into her hoof. After 30 mins of stress I persuaded him to let me try and put a Dually halter on the mare who I backed up and brought forward to me a half dozen times before I picked up her foot and placed it in a bucket to soak her hoof in the medicated water. With comments raining down on me about how "she'll never stand there", "that was a fluke she won't leet you do her other foot as well" and other such remarks. After 10 mins I had had both front hoofs bathed in the liquid while she stood beautifully - the Dually can really be as if like magic, and it has improved my confidence out of sight!

Good on you Stephanie :-)

We had a horse that would not float that the Dually worked wonders for. Such a simple and excellent piece of equipment. Definately an essential item for every horse person's tack room.

I recently moved to a new livery yard where there are about 30 horses, as I have a very sharpe young 4 year old gelding, he has been trained with the dually, and I have been watching so many people struggle with thief horses just to lead, then slowly a couple of them asked me about ten dually and I have shown them how it works and tried it with tense horses now they ate off to buy the dually, I wonder how long it will be before they all have one. We will see.
