For starters, I would like to say hello to everybody as I am new here.
I understand this is the suggestion section, and I have something to suggest. I apologize upfront if what I am suggesting already exists somewhere - I might have overlooked something.
I would very much like to see full-length videos of Monty's Join up with different kind of horses.
I have seen a video on Youtube with Monty doing Join-Up with Lauki (Icelandic) horse, which is similiar in behaviour to my full-blooded mare. Unfortunately the video is cut and edited, so i cannot witness all the clues and "magic" Monty is doing, which would help in my training.
This is the video I'm talking about.

I was actually hoping i could find the full video here after i purchase a subscription, but that is not the case. So - that would be extremely useful for me (and I hope - for others) if full, uncut videos of Monty worldwide tours and generally Monty doing Join Up with different types of horses were here.
Thanks upfront
Hi, welcome to the Uni :-) The Join Up video you can buy has the process in full. Hope that helps. In the meantime, any issues, share them with us all and we are all here to support each other.
Hi. Welcome to the Uni. As Vicci says you can buy unedited videos but also there is a fantastic book, From My Hands To Yours. It is the text book to beat all text books! Clearly & precisely it explains, step by step, exactly how to deal with every situation. Humans have a short attention span. You remember about 20% of what you see - so revising videos is really important. You remember about 40% of what you read. In short, I strongly suggest that you invest in the book & the videos as well as enjoying the lessons on the Uni. Then come to the forum & we'll discuss it. Good luck, Jo.
@vicci,
When you say I can buy the unedited videos, do you mean the DVDs ?

Which DVD is it ? Is there a list of contents somewhere ?
Also, can I buy stream or download version ?
@JoHewittVINTA
Thanks for the suggestion of buying the book. I already have it and its great. However it appears that I learn quicker from videos than from books. I may be a visualizer-kind of guy.
Thanks to youtube videos and the book, i accomplished about 50-60% of the join up process i want without any help from the outside (This is very rough estimate and FIY, Monty = 200% as he is obviously the Jedi Master of Join Up).
My mare does the ear gesture, she does smaller circles, she chews a little and does a little bowing. She also follows me... for some time until she gets bored with it. I am now trying to polish my body language and I am looking for my mistakes. That's why I need all the clues I can get. Monty's videos are a great source of them.
Again, thanks for help guys
Hello FireRider et al, type this: MONTY'S TOUR DEMONSTRATIONS in the search box of the Uni and you will find videos of Lauki and other horses Monty has worked with on tour. Enjoy!
Sorry Fire, Yes, I means the DVD :-) I have the entire collection and it's well worth it

BTW, I have tried the new clues from the videos and it already worked ! Join Up with my mare went almost 100% the way I wanted it to. She comes to me and follows me almost all the time, no problem.
Wonderful Fire, onwards and upwards :-)
Hi. Keep us updated with your progress & remember we are here to help & support you. Cheers, Jo.
