“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

I just realized that your (EquiAbi) photo looks soo much like one of my real-life friend's photos! Coincidental :p the horse looks the same, and the jump and the arena and the background and the angle the photo has been taken from!

Good for you EquiAbi starting with Monty at this age! How fantastic! I think all of us oldies would envy you but remember we are all students together, all on an equal footing and all young at heart otherwise we wouldn't love our horses so much or be part of this Uni.

Hi Abi,
Congratulations on joining the non violent world of horsemanship at an early age!
It gives me a great pleasure to think of all you'll be able to learn the equus-way from the beginning. Most of us had to go through a lot of other methods before discovering there was more, you'll be the one to learn how horses "tick" right from the start.
Remember to stay safe, be realistic and have fun!

Hi Abi,
I have grandchildren almost double your age!!!!
It is wonderful that so many of our fellow students are so young, think of all you will learn.
You are the next generation of non-violent horse trainers that Monty wants to be out there, so spread the word.
It is more that just for horses, you can apply these methods to people as well.
If our young ones today learn non-violent ways of dealing with others as well as animals our beautiful earth will be a better place.
Welcome all you young ones (and the young at heart).
