“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.

Jan 6 (Reuters) - Dutch soldiers and police started to evacuate 800 residents on Friday from a northern area of the Netherlands where an inland dyke has started leaking and is at risk of breaking after heavy rains.
Are all are Dutch friends OK? May are you safe?

Hi Dennis,
From what I heard and read about it until now, is that there was some danger threatening, but no serious damage done so far. All precautions were taken to avoid people and animals being in danger, so evacuation was one of them. The dyke until now did stand it's ground, let's hope weather is improving.
I live in Hamburg ( Germany), 3 hours by car from the site, but being dutch of course my concern is with all people that needed to leave their homes.
May seems to live not very near it, so let's assume she's OK, hoping she'll bring us report from where she lives.
Thank you for asking, if any interesting news occurs, I'll come back to it.
Miriam

Miriam
Thank you for the update. That is a load of my mind!

Hi Dennis,

I am safe!!!! I am living in the east of Holland and in the middle. That's one and a half/two hours drive from the place where they evacuated the people.
The people who had to leave there houses, nearly all are back home. The water level is going down. The danger is gone, but there are still a lot of people in that area who are there to help, just in case.
Thank you Dennis for thinking about us here in Holland.
Thanks Miriam for your explanation.
Thanks Nelliebell for your sympathy.
Cheers everyone, May
