“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

Hello everyone,

I have two Pinto horses and for me they are my two children, Diego & Rumble I bought them from baby on and I grow with them. I have a great relationship and this year we begin to do some work and training. Diego is a born worker, he loves to exercise, while Rumbe, is quite a loner and the rod does not like very much to go, I seem to me that he have a little fear of the rope, but I'll take plenty of time to give him confidence. I play so much with my horses, football or we chase, also likes to play hide and seek. We are a very united soul. It is a great creature and I thank god that horses exist. :-) Thank you Monty for your wonderful Equus Online University, I would love to become a teacher for others, expecially for horses with people problem. Big hug Jamira

Hello,
my name is julia, I have a rescued horse who had a bad time with someone in the past. I fell in love with him on sight, the rescue center has done good work with him, but he is still a little headshy. I am just going for walks with him on a lead rope and grooming him. I want his complete trust before I even think of riding him. Isn't a privilige to have this love for such a noble animal? To learn Montys methods is wonderful, I want to 'talk horse' very much and am learning as much as I can.

Hello Jamira and Julia....It is great having a horse after wanting one maybe for your whole life, isn´t it? My husband gave me Willow a year ago this Christmas for my 54th birthday no less! A friend had suggested an older, already well trained horse but I had my doubts. As I have only had three months of riding lessons in all my life I felt it would be better if I had a foal or filly to grow with me, that way both of us would be ignorant! So, when we came to live in a beautiful isolated spot of Cantabria, in the north of Spain, in a house with some land, it was only a matter of time-economy and chance. A local had a very gentle, what I call, mountain horse which had had a very nice filly in June and Lorenzo got her for me.The day she arrived I was just as a little girl, all teary-eyed with thrill at the idea of having my very own horse. If my mom could have seen me! (she used to ride before I was born and always loved horses.) That very first night, when I took Willow her feed in a big bowl, I crouched by the door and extended the bowl to her. She came closer and closer as I drew the bowl back towards me, until our heads touched.... Only those who have wished for this to happen for so long understand what it meant. It was the beginning of putting into practice what I had already read of Monty´s writings.
Right now I have all her trust and love and I´m waiting for school to finish (I´m and English teacher)so that I can try Join-Up and everything else I am learning on this course that a very nice and generous person invited me to.
It is such fun to watch Willow grow and she makes us all laugh with her energy and joy. Running around and bucking and kicking and rolling after two days of confinement for bad weather!
Sometimes I wonder what I have got myself into but I do see myself riding her, bareback at first, around her field, and maybe then up the mountain....
