“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

Lower Shipping Please

I know this is supposed to be suggestions for lessons, but I'd like to ask for a lower priced shipping option to places outside of the US for the products. Most things I order online have shipping from the US to Canada for ~$10-15. For me to order the farrier ruler and DVD (which is not heavy or bulky) is $31 shipping. It would really help to have a lower cost option.

Well, its a high price for a ruler for sure, but of course, its the "knowledge" on the CD your paying for. So, if a person knows how to trim up and take the measurement, then with practice you can get the same results using a small carpenter's adjustable square or small combination square as well. I don't mean to say the square has to come from a tiny or midget carpenter, just go to Home Depot and get one...lol..I know, don't quit my day job...these are very inexpensive by the way. Its what I use.

Lenore 2013-Feb-22 at 08:03PM

That's a good idea pmpleau! Well, I do really like the ruler. They said they're working on getting lower shipping and can do USPS for $15 with that one, so I think that'll work :)

My vote for cheaper shipping too - I just tried to order a Dually halter with post to Australia, halter was $54 (less with discount), shipping was $79!!!! As I'm 2 hours drive from the nearest horse shop I rely on online purchases to receive stuff. I've had to resort to eBay instead....

Hi Pinkie you can buy them from Edwards Saddlery in Toowoomba Qld. And the postage from there is much less. They are more than happy to take phone orders sorry that I don 't have their phone number on hand at present bu Diectory assistance will give it to you.

Sorry Lenore I know this doesn't help you, but for those of us here in Australia there is a Monty Roberts store in Subiaco. http://www.shop.montyroberts.com.au/ Horseland and Europa Saddlery also will stock some products but you have to pay extra (middle man :( )

Thanks Maggie, I eventually found the Monty Roberts Aus store, and now that I see they're in WA (thanks Denea, next time I'm in Perth will go for a look!) I realise why it turned up so quickly :-)

Denea 2014-Jan-15 at 04:48AM

Lenore 2014-Jan-15 at 07:55PM
