“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 know this doesn't really fit in this section.

But, I have emailed Monty with a question and I was wondering if someone who has emailed him before could tell me how long he takes to reply as I don't want to b sitting at a computer screen all day if h isn't goin reply for a couple of days?

My second point is, does anyone know if Montys willing partners horses can travel overseas? And also how much one of the advanced horses cost?

Thank you

I asked Monty a question once, and it took several days for him to answer.

I asked a question once too and it took a couple days.. not too long though, so don't worry: you won't be waiting weeks or anything!

Thanks, I know it's sort of a stupid question but I'm going away soon and I hoped I would miss a reply

Maisy 2012-Apr-10 at 02:40PM

Oops I meant I didnt want to miss the reply!

LindaR 2012-Apr-10 at 07:38PM

Hi Maisy,
Just about the Willing Partner Horses:
They do travel oversees, one of them is in Malaysia right now, others have travelled to the UK and further. I cannot tell you anything about prices, but I'm sure that you will get an answer, when you inquire at the main office at Flag Is Up Farms or Maya Horsey, head of instructors.
Good luck and I'm sure all of us would love to hear if and when you would decide to become the owner of one of these special horses!
