“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

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.

"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

in the uk the only standard of instruction available is bhs, starting children to ride ih methods would prevent kids growing into frustrated adults, who don't know why, they just do as has been shouted at them to do. why can't we have riding schools that teach in the same way as we learn in ih courses, we need ih instructors for the kids!

I live in Galway in Ireland and my last instructer was fired because she kept shouting so now we have this really nice instructer who never shouts!

i quit at my ridding school because my ridding instrustor kept making us whip the horses x

I only ride with my current instructor for the jumping experience which I can not get at home. Unfortunately, since I would never use her methods to train my horses, I have had to figure out a lot myself. It sure would be nice to have a trainer that I can trust.

I quit at my riding school because they whiped the horses without asking for the reasons why they did'nt behave in the way they wanted them to.
So now I don't have any teacher/instructor. I do only have some friends around me beeing surprised what a huge effect Monty's methods have. :-)
My only instructors are Monty over the University and the horse I'm working with.
The horse changed the yard with me, and it seems to me as if he is much luckier now. No more kids "riding" him, no more people letting him feel pain.
