“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

Hi everyone! my horse Lizzy is new to me she is my first horse and was my sisters horse but recently my sister had to go away and gave Lizzy to me. Well I have watched a lot of videos on join-up. My sister had tryed join-up with her a couple of times but never really did it right so Lizzy never really joined I think Lizzy knew exactly what I was doing imediatly and when I asked her to go away right from me the start she had her eat locked on me but she took off like a bullet! and she just kept switching direction and I stepped to make her turn around to the way I wanted her to go but she totally ignored me anyways after a couple of minutes I got her to keep going the way I wanted her to go but she still hadnt slowed down! after like 5 minutes she decided to tear though the fence then ran into the other pasture to see her friend any ideas how to make my next join-up better? Im sorry if I dint give you enough info if you need more please just tell me thank you! Myrraya

Hello Myrraya! Maybe the fence should be stronger than the horse. Two of my horses pay not much attention to me when doing join up outside in the pen. They love to watch the other horses, and try to find the weekest spot of the fence to go closer to them, etc. For those two horses paying attention takes twice as long as for other horses. I just keep doing the gestures, be patient, and wait for the horses proper reaction. They do have all the right gestures after a while. When they start paying atention to me instead of the other horses. But the fence has to be very strong, and you have to be pushy to make Lizzy move forward when she goes by the week spot of the fence, where she thinks the escape is. Be patient and keep trying!!
Good luck!
