“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

Hi Gen,

At the moment, the only place you can do the Advanced Course is at Monty's farm in California.

Looking forward to seeing you in September for the Intro Course!

Hi Linda,
I don't have any plans to run an Introductory Course in or around Sydney at the moment, however, if there was enough interest, I would certainly consider it.

Kind regards
Lynn

Hi Linda B,
I recommend Lynn highly and if it's possible for you, I think it would be worth your while arranging things to try and get up to one of Lynn's courses she is running here in Qld. Even if you can't bring your own horse, it will be a great learning experience.
Regards,
Ruth

Hi Lynn,
I'm not from Australia but from Canada and as an instructor I would like to ask you a question.
My young filly has a problem with the dually halter, the noise. I have been desensitizing her to it and yesterday even hung it around her neck, under supervision, yet she still does not allow me to put it on her.
She's not affraid of it, she has carried it in her mouth to the far fence line and dropped it there.
I have always used a knotted rope halter on her, I couldn't afford the dually until now. I'm doing something wrong, I know it has to be me.
Thanks ahead of time. In Montys videos it shows it works so well and I'd really like to get started before our horrible winter starts again.
