“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

Hey everyone,

so i know it's not this week's lesson but i was wondering if there were any plans on continuing that series about nipping & biting. I was under the impression that there would be more videos when the first one was released but then it moved on to TOP. Any info on that ?

Thanks

Are you having a problem with this with your horses? If so, maybe I could give you some suggestions. Nipping and biting is a remedial problem, that can be very frustrating at times to try and stop. First, do not feed from your hands and do not let others feed them from their hands. If you are having a problem at all with your horses in this way and are unsure how to handle it you should see someone with more experience to help you if you can as long as they believe in Monty's ways. Otherwise,you could create a bigger problem. When any horses that I get start that sort of thing I find a way to distract them from that biting and it stops!! That way,it will not get worse! There is not much else that can be said about this remedial problem. I do the same things when they start that pawing. It works for the 3 yr olds & younger. Then they are able to make up their own minds to stop when they are distracted,they will stop then. Monty has been a god sent to me if you know what I mean. He is so full of information and so willing to help anyone, with problems. Horse or human. Invest in his books they are a wealth of information in them to help you also.You will not regret it! Its nice to have them to go back to and look up things that your dealing with at the time. I sure do! Just be safe whatever you do!

I saw beside the video lesson you referred to that the next lesson in that series is going to be showing on the 28th June.

Thanks a.rumble, but no, i don't have that problem actually, i was curious to see how monty would do it in the videos because i'm having a hard time explaining to some people around me why it's so counter productive to slap a horse on the nose when they bite/nip and especially what they should do instead.
I solved that problem with my young mare when i bought her but somehow i can never explain the steps i used so that's why i was hoping for the rest of the series :D

Vee, yep i saw that ! cool :)
