“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 that there are several hundred books out there about different problems that one comes across with horses. There is one however, that is (so far anyway, to me) the most detailed, comprehensive and easily understood encyclopedia that I have ever seen/read yet.
Of the many questions that I have come across on this site and with various horses that I have worked with whom have had foot problems: This book will provide the answers to those questions and much much more. I have yet to hear of or read about or managed a problem that this book has not referred to. From "a needle to an anchor" as the saying goes.
One should get the most recent edition however, as the previous ones are not as clear and as easily understood by some people not familiar with horses and horse anatomy.
Title: Horseman's Veterinary Encyclopedia
ISBN-13: 978-1-59228-527-3
Published: SF951.E6 2005

You will not be disappointed. I may sound stupid to say this, but I truly think that this book should be mandatory reading for "ANYONE" who is even "THINKING" about buying a horse....seriously. It amazingly well done and so very clear in explanation and photos. Read this, and then put your farriers on notice as well as "some so called horse experts out there"...that you now are "much better informed" as to exactly what to watch for.
Good luck,

Paul

Hi, can somebody tell me what the texture of the Corigem® Cream is, which is sold in Monty's shop. My Icelandic horse has scars in his ears which started two weeks ago. The vet is not quite sure what it is, not mites and it seems more like an allergies to something he came in contact with in the pasture.we also discovered small little bumps on the inside of his front and back legs, every nice warm spots. We are treating him with the medication suggested by the vet and it is slowly getting better. But the Icelandic horse has a very thick winter coat and whatever I put in the ears should not be too sticky, dirt will just hang on to it. It has been a challenge to treat his ears and in the two weeks he and we have learned to handle the ears with a lot of patience, he is now almost standing still and let us do our job. If this cream is smoth and not too sticky I like to try it.
