“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.
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

As some of you probably know, I'm leasing a horse for a month, and after I did a practice ride with him, I asked my instructor if I can lunge him for a while, she has a round pen, so she told me that I can go in there with him. There was a lunge whip I could have used, but I chose not to use it. I did basically all that Monty teaches in the join-up process, I oriented him to the round pen, then I took his lead rope off, and let him go! I ran him around for a while, and getting him to turn, then I watched for all the signs, ear locked on me first, then licking and chewing started later, then he slowed down, and started lowering his head. When I new he was ready to come in, I turned my back to him, and I started walking, he followed me! I'm not sure if I did everything correct, but the result was, he joined up with me. :D

Good deal! Correct or not, you succeeded, which is more than I have been able to do with Princess, she just will NOT go away! Am hoping for better luck with the new ones.
