“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

Hi & welcome to the Uni. I don't know the answer but I know who will. Use the amber button with a question mark in the centre to email the support team. They usually answer pretty quickly, within a day or so if during the week & not public holidays. Cheers, Jo.

I’d love to see an app with a component that simulates doing a Join-Up. Like, you can see a horse moving around you and have 2-3 body language choices at the bottom (square up, look in eye, arch, touch, walk away, etc.) For each body language choice you tap, the horse has a different reaction. Different levels could include various ‘problems.’ Level 1, basic Join Up with 1 piece of body language at a time. Mid levels should include more options as well as 2 components that need to work together (ie. Options of ‘eyes on eyes,’ ‘shoulders square,’ ‘walk away,’ and ‘look at feet.’). The player would have to choose 2 correct answers and the horse would have to have a different response to every combination... but only one correct combination would achieve the correct response. High levels would include horses who don’t want to join up - and ‘arching’ would need to be included... maybe approach/touch/walk away. Timing would come into play during this level - if you keep approaching after the horse looks at you, you would have a harder time achieving Join Up.

I have no clue about the amount of programming that would have to go into this game, but what a wonderful way for people to read equine reactions without the remote possibility of getting physically kicked or otherwise hurt!! (And a wonderful opportunity for people with no live horses to practice on).
