“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

My Join-Up® Experience

How many times should you do join up with the same horse?

I'm very green, so this question may seem silly to experienced horseman, however, I will ask it. How many times should I do join up with the same horse? I have one pony that I bought two months ago. He joined up easily even though I had to use an arena. He also did follow up. I have done join up four times because I thought I read somewhere that Monty says to do it 4-6 times, but I'm not certain about that. Thoughts?

Hi Kathy & welcome to the Uni. You are quite right - Monty says 4-6 times for Joinup but as you study Montys approach to horses you will find that horses 'read' us all the time & build their relationship with us based on that & not just our attitude in a training environment. Given that you got Join up in less than ideal circumstances speaks volumes for your pony & you. If a human had been a significant problem to him in the past or your anticipation of what could happen had got the better of you (bringing your adrenaline up) the outcome would have been less successful. There is a wealth of knowledge available here so enjoy your Monty journey. Your pony is lucky to have found a considerate owner. Keep in touch & remember the golden rules - it is vital that you have fun with your learning but even more important is that your pony has fun. Cheers, Jo.
