“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

I think I am pretty much sold on Monty Roberts. I always liked his ideas from when I was younger, reading Heartland books about Join-up, but its just so much more real doing it yourself!

I haven't joined up yet cause I lack a round pen & my pasture is wayy to big to try join-up in, but I looked at the series of videos about catching horses in the pasture and today I tried it! I was able to catch my horses quickly and more importantly they only tried to run away once! And they stopped once I kept using Monty's techniques.

All the body language that we are subconciously communicating to them is astounding. No wonder they don't co-opearate how we want them to sometimes. I can see a much happier and brighter future for all of the horses I come into contact with, now that I'm aware of body language so much more!

Thankyou Monty Roberts and Equus University :)

I would have been sold on Monty's teachings years ago, also from reading the Heartland books, but it seemed too good to be true and was never brave enough to risk facing the disappointment if Join up had not been real. But it is.
In regards to your pasture size, if done correctly the size should not matter. I would advise you to look up Shy Boy and read about him. It may give you some inspiration.
