“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
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.

I think you are right that we had to stop the discussion "Stubborn horse" with Candi because it is going to escalate. I wonder what the language contributes to this escalation. I am Swiss with German as maternal language, working in the Italian speaking part of my country. After ten years my Italian is not bad but I always say that I have difficulty to understand the meaning between the lines. You can say something in a certain manner, or another, changing the meaning. (If we could see each other our body language would certainly help.) I also wonder whether it could be helpful to have access to our profiles to be able to judge the partner in discussion. Anyway, we have to accept the different kinds of English. In medicine you say that the common language is broken English.

Hi Rudi,

You are absolutely right. It effects me to, even if I am not the person where they were talking to. It hurts me and it makes me sometimes very angry. It doesn't do anything to the question.In my opinion it is childish and a waist of time and it says something about that person!!!If somebody is not agreeing on something, just ask if you understand it right before you start to react.

What I already told you all in the Forum, I am not going to react on these wordgames, I will ignore it.I wished there was a delete button when it comes to that. There are enough bad things in the world, so let us keep it peasefull and understandable for eachother.
We are trying to help each other to find a solution for a question or learning from it and not to offense/attack/correct each other in a negative way. I don't say we have to be soft. We can be critic and think about it, give advice etc.

Thank you all who are understanding this and are not correcting me when I am writing wrong grammar words.
What we have in common are horses!!!! And that's where we are talking about!!!
Fijne dag allemaal, May
