“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 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 have only been a member for a month so I am still learning my way around. I have a couple of questions I'd like to ask. Does anyone know how many lessons there are. I thought I had read somewhere that there were about 300. Ive completed 174 and can't find anymore. Also, when I ask a question on this forum, how do I find it again. I had asked one question before and received some very informative responses but now I am unable to find it. I wanted to re-read the answers that were presented but am not sure how to locate them. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Peggy. I, too joined just a month ago, so cant answer your first question, but if you can remember which heading your question was under, you should probably be able to find it under that catagory. Sometimes there are a lot of questions under one catagory, so you just have to keep looking. Good luck.

I think I might have found your question. Look under horse behavior and training. Was it about miniatures?

Congratulations Peggy for watching so many videos in such a short time. That is amazing - most of us take so much longer - it took me twelve months to watch 150 and that was only because I had to take time out with injuries!! If you have watched 174 you have probably watched all the videos that are currently available. Not sure where the 300 comes in but maybe that is the future aim. Perhaps the Forum monitors could help out here. Did you find your previous question? Here's a step by step approach. Click on Forum at the top of the Uni Home Page screen and all the Forum topics come up. Find the topic under which you entered your question, click on this then scroll down the entries - they are in date order so if you can remember the date that helps. Phantommustang seems to have found it for you under "Horse Behaviour and Training". Welcome to Forum!!
