Watch Monty's horse training videos to learn how he demonstrates communication through horse training techniques that the amateur and professional alike consider to be the trainable skills of a horse whisperer yet Monty calls it horse gentling.

Monty trains safe horses for nervous riders called Willing Partners. Monty trains world class race horses for sale.
“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

Flying into her stable

Hi,
We have a horse at our barn that rushes/flies into her stable. No problem taking her out. She is very spooky, but I think mainly because she does not get ridden too much. Any suggestions to get rid of this bad and potentially dangerous habit? Thanks! Daphne

HI Daphne,
I hope I can offer some help to you! I would suggest watching Monty's "Load Up" video. Then I would do dually halter work including lots of backing up. Then when you bring her towards her stable door, maybe 10 metres away, stop and back her up, then come forward to 9 metres away, stop and back her up and continue to do this all the way up to her stable door. Then don't go in - back her away and then turning and lead her away, maybe go for a walk outside, before starting the procedure all over again. Then like Monty does with the problem loaders in the Load Up video, take her in incrementally, backing up each time.
Hope that helps, because I agree it is a dangerous habit if she runs over the top of the person leading her!
Good luck

Hi Daphne!
.
I think Ruthy already had some very good ideas, but maybe I can add some more ways to stop this dangerous habit.
.
Against the spookyness I can recommend Monty's DVD "Genteling Your Spooky Horse - A Young, Unhandled Horse" and lots of training with spooky objects, like plastic shopping bags, a large tarpaulin, walking through water, etc.
.
For her rushing into the stable I would recommend reading Monty's book "From My Hands to Yours", especially the part about the "Barn-Sour Syndrome" and "Separation Anxiety".
.
If you do not have the DVD and/or the book buy it or borrow it from a friend or the next library/video rental store.
.
Hope I could help.
.
Best wishes from Hamburg, Germany!
Jasmin

Thank you ladies for that advise. I will definitely try it out and do the research. At least I have something to go on!
