“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

Some of you may remeber when I put up a pst called "Experiences" And I told about how I was thrown from a horse and ended up in hospital for a few hours.
I have been working with the horse that threw me through this last school holiday (which is the only time I get to see him) and I find that I realy am starting to grow a great relationship with him, and I find that since that fall he has been more willing to join up with me, and work with me.
I did join up with him during this last holiday, and a few friends where there watching as I did it. They were so thrilled at how he really wanted to be with me and work with me that they asked if I could show them how to do it. Well when I showed them how to do it (with the horses they were working with)and talked them through it the results where amazing. for the rest of the week it was so much fun working with him and the rest of the horses.

Its amazing how something bad can happen, but then in the end something good came out of it in the end.
I am now saving to hopefully buy him. I have to consult my parents first, but hopefuly I'm praying they will agree.

Hi HorseCrazy
.
That is so good to hear! Good on you :-) You should be really proud of yourself for having the confidence to try again with this horse, for achieving join-up and for showing others the Monty Roberts way. Good on you :-)
.
In response to that post you made I told the story about my mare Dolly that I had when I was a kid. She put me in hospital many times - I don't even know why I kept trying to ride her...
.
Well, I often wonder how different my relationship would have been with her if I knew then what I know now. My husband and I have had such wonderful results in applying Monty's methods with our horses - and we aren't even professionals! And it still works. Just amazing.
.
Good luck with your efforts in purchasing him. I really hope everything works out well for you.
.
Good luck,
.
