“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

There is a bronc horse named Pistol and the owner who boards where I board is going to sell him to a man who likes to ride bucking horses and is just most likley going to put the harshest bit in his mouth and make him buck till hes exausted. but the owner is nice and is letting me work with him so far I have just got a membership on here yesterday and I have written down notes on how to do join-up and then I don't know what to do next I would like to use the buck stopper but I can't because its to expensive for me so.... he hasn't had a saddle on in years. so after I do join-up what are the the next steps!???
Thanks

The next step is to put a saddle on him and turn him out without a bridle in the round pen and canter him both directions to let him get used to the saddle again. He will most likely buck with it but that's OK as long as the saddle is secure and you stay in the middle out of his way. Once he is comfortable with cantering in both directions without any buck, then I would start with a dummy rider. I'm sure you probably don't have one but you can make one. This will be an essential step for this horse because bucking is his life. It will probably not be safe for someone to ride him without first having a dummy rider to get used too. Then you move on to long-lining. All of these lessons you will find here on the uni. If you are inexperienced with these procedures practice on a older experienced horse that is calm and easy to work with. Other wise seek help from a trained professional in Monty's work, if this is not possible please just be very careful and watch the lessons over and over again until you have them down solid.

Sound advice from Kleinne Emma, safety is paramount here and watch the videos very carefully. I'm a bit confused about your statement about the buckstopper being too expensive - as I understand it to be only a length of rope I'm wondering whether we have a different understanding of what a buckstopper is?
