“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.
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 am not a twiter or facebook person. I never really got use to the e-mail thing, yet when something happens with my horse I want to get it out and the best place to go is Equus Online University. It was probably a minor incident, however because of the lessons with the Dually Halter I was spared an embarrassing or painful moment. I was working with Rocket most of the summer last year until all my attention turned to real estate. Eventually I found property with barns and pasture. On January 7, 2011 we moved the horses out of boarding. My wife and I don’t own a horse trailer so we relied on our “trainer” friends to help us. We love our friends very much, they are sincere and good hearted people, but I do not like their traditional “show 'em who's boss” method for horses. On that day we moved the horses Rocket was the first one out the trailer which ment I was in the lead. I was astonished to find his nose at my shoulder in the sweet spot! He remembered his schooling! I was so very proud of him. As I was leading him between two barns and then into an open space he jumped. In a blink of an eye he was over on the other side of me. I switched hands with the lead rope, talked to him, keeping his and my adrenaline down. We got to the gate safely. I turned to watch the trainers bring up the others. They were twitching and snapping the lead ropes while walking at the shoulder of excited horses. For a while we watched horses do what horses do and then everyone went home. After many weeks I still think about that incident very grateful for Monty Roberts and his online university. He gave me the tools to bring manners to my horse that made me look good.

Congratulations! Not only did your horse remember his training but you did as well under a stressful situation. Horses certainly change their position so quick.
