“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

This is the first week, the first lessons and I just bow to you Monty and to your team ! What a great job ! Although the content of the lessons is not new to me I learned so much and yes, I will come back to all of these first lessons. My neighbors might have fun too, observing me in the middle of the night in front of my computer holding a long line in my hand coiling it up and throwing it away ???!!! Next time I also put my Cowboy hat on so they can at least make a clue out of it and call me crazy cow girl.
The whole uni platform is perfectly presented, easy and very interesting to use. The audios are so so prescious to me. Thank you for adding them ! Listening is a whole nother way than watching ! More comments later I want to go back and do the next lesson ! Take care, Vio Berlin

Monty and Pat Roberts, Hi!,.
Today was great as I put together what Monty had taught in his Join-Up Lesson with my Morgan Mare Cori and it worked like a charm....It did not take Cori long before she caught on and willingly did what I asked her to do in Join-Up without a lounge whip which is what she was used to when exercising her...What made it great too was that the wrinkles she had at the end of her nostrils began to disappear and her large brown eyes began to soften....We look forward to continue with the program daily weather permitting since we do not have an indoor areana but use the paddock area for her exercises.
Thank you, thank you, thank you......What a difference....it is so hard to explain but I am thrilled and look forward to working this method with my horses from here on in.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
MaryJo E. Morse
