“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 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, I do not know if this is an appropriate thing to do in this forum. So please delete the post if it is not.

Many of you may have heard the quake and tsunami that hit northeast Japan. In the area with the most severe damage were several riding stables. One was right by the coast line.

People (at least some) had the chance to evacuate but not horses. Please say a little prayer for them who worked hard thruout their lives.

Hi
Sure I'll pray for the people and the animals down there in Japan.

Thank you for mentioning this!
Wild animals sense earthquakes and flee, domesticated ones don't have that chance, because they're captured.
Let's remember this and realise what we ask of our horses, when we keep them in confinement. What an immense responsability.....

Thank you HorseCrazy, Miriam and dolleegirl!!!
I have a good news. The stable that was closest to the seashore, and hit directly by tsunami, housed 50 to 80 horses and miraculously 37 of them survived!!
Everyone including myself thought there will be no survivors but we are wrong!! All of them are now out of harm's way!!

Wow thank the Good Lord! He will take care of his. You always think about all of the poor people that are having to deal with such heartache, but tend to overlook all the animals living in the area. Thank you for the wonderful post and the reminder!
