“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

Last Friday my new weanling came home. It was a long trip - over 14 hours on the trailer. The shipper said it had taken 3 hours to catch him. I first watched a Monty video on Join up about 10 years ago and have been trying to use his techniques ever since but I knew this poor terrified baby was going to test me. So, I signed up for the university. On Friday I couldn't get near Brando. Every time I went into his stall, he would turn his butt towards me. He wouldn't kick out but he made sure I knew he wasn't ready to make friends. On Saturday, he went outside. It's pretty icy where I am and we have no indoor arena so I didn't want to attempt join up just yet. I did however use the body language that I learned in the lessons I have been watching and got very similar results. After 15 minutes in the field, he came up to me. My 'terrified' baby now follows me around, he has had his feet done and has had the vet give him shots. He has been a superstar. I will be ordering a Dually halter today to help aid in his training. I am so excited to see what kind of horse he is going to turn into using Monty's techniques.
Thank you Monty, without these online lessons, I think I would still be looking at my baby's tail!

Congratulations. You have done the first step. Probably there is some other work waiting...

I'm sure there is a lot of work waiting lol - this was just a very satisfying start to what I hope will be a lifetime partnership - and it makes me excited to learn as much as I can!
