“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

Single line lunging - Does anyone have photos???

Hi there guys!

I'm on a crusade and I really need your help!

I'm currently working to put together a magazine article here in Australia about the damaging effects of single line lunging. My only problem is that I'm in need of two or three photos before and after of a horse that has had this problem and then had work done to remedy it. My own horses don't have this problem and I can't find anyone else who do or else they aren't willing for photos to be taken because, quote "people will think I'm a bad horse person".

Would anyone happen to have two or three high resolution, good quality photographs they would be willing to give the use of for this article? Ideally one showing the horse 'motorbiking', and one showing them working correctly with two leadlines, with perhaps one in between showing progression if possible. Full publication rights would be required, with full credit given in whatever form you choose (its a low budget magazine so I'm rather hoping to have the images donated rather than having to purchase them).

If ANYONE can help me spread the word about such an important issue by helping me out, that would be GREATLY appreciated.

Cheers,

Laura :)

Hi Laura

I'm wondering if you could 'freeze frame' and photo from Monty's videos on here at all? Just a thought :-)

Yes u can just push the Print Scrn sysRq on your keyboard and copy and paste the photo in your paint program.

I'm not sure I'd legally have publication rights for those...

Oh geese, if my mare were still alive, I would volunteer! (before I knew better) I single line lunged her for years and she ALWAYS counter cantered :( much to my frustration at the time as I had NO idea why! I look back now and I think "dah!!"
Anyway, I hope you find some one soon!
