“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 am a Christian counselor and have been counseling humans for about 20 years. I have always been interested in Monty's training (sorry, gentling) techniques and the parallels with Christian values and human behavior. I am developing counseling techniques to use with clients struggling with their life problems; addiction, marriage, etc. If anyone knows of someone doing the same thing, I would be interested in making contact.

Hi, you'll like Monty's book Horse Sense for People and perhaps have a look at the Monty's Join-Up for Veterans site. Both will be very helpful to what you are trying to set up.

iHello, There are so many similarities between counseling techniques for human behavior and life`s presentation of problems and the horse training techniques that are used in Monty`s approach to training horses. The terms of incremental steps and ritualistic habituation are two that come to mind. These two terms are part of the backbone of LEARNING for both humans and horses. `Very interesting topic for conversation and learning.

Hello, I am a retired educator and a Christian. I am new to the horse world, however, there are SO many parallels with teaching, training, disciplining, reinforcing, etc. with children and adults. Before working in the public schools, we should first learn what the horses are teaching us. Then we can have a relationship with troubled children and use what we've learned through our horses to help mold them into amazing adults. Best wishes on you endeavor.
