“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

Dear All,

Hi! My name's Austen Atkinson. I am proud to say that I have led the team that designed and built Monty's Online Uni for him and also the newly launched www.montyroberts.com.

I am also a TV director and had the privilege of making a wonderful series titled Monty's Memories with Monty, in 2007. As a horseman myself, it has been a joy to see you all embrace Monty's methods in this newest form - online. It is a project very close to his heart, I can assure you.

This week, I hope that you have all received a request to complete a survey. It is purely voluntary, but anything that you share anonymously with Monty, MPRI and my team will be acted upon - especially any strong ideas on new functions and lessons to be added to the Uni.

A quick thanks to all who have already responded. There have been some EXCELLENT ideas. One of which, making the Uni iPad and iPhone friendly, is well in hand - we have been working on that for a month and a half or so. We hope to launch that iPad functionality in the next two months (all of our lessons have to be re-encoded and the player changed, to allow that).

Thank you all for your passion and sharing in Monty's goals.

Best wishes,

Austen Atkinson

Hi Austen, I would like to tell you that you and your team did a great job designing and building the new web site and this Uni. All functions work perfectly. As a Mac user I am wondering why you must change everything for the iPad...well I am not so good in computer tecnology, which doesn't matter as I am much more interested in being good with horses. I think everybody is very excited to learn what is coming next on the Uni every week. If I talk to people about the Uni I tell them that I am impressed that Monty absolutely uses all the tools this great tecnology offers: reading, watching, listening, and copying too. I made my own little note book on open office where I copy things I want to memorise especially from the "extended notes" of every lesson. And it is great that you can come back to the lessons after month to recall something you might need for the next session with your horse. I am wondering how you have developed this tool together. Did Monty tell you his ideas how things could look and work like and you made it working ? Or have you already had something in mind to suggest to him ? It really must have been a great experience to develope the Uni and still is to work on it. Don't ever stop ! I hope you read the idea of the animated horse that let's us look through his eyes so that we can see the 180° angle, the mono- and bicolar sight, how little horses see right in front of them etc. Good luck and have fun ! Thanks again, VioBerlin
