“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

Besides that i lost hold off the lead rope and it ended up on the opposite site of the paddock...we managed to do a successfully join and even follow up. Still, it is incredible that a tiny gesture can decide if it works or not. I forgot to lock my arm in the right position with my fingers closed when i started the join up and my horse didn't move at all...besides from me arcing around in front of her; the moment i locked my arm in position she started moving towards me immediatly. You must know that my horse has a history of abuse and we had to overcome some problems after i bought her so when she decided to follow me without hesitation...well, it was amzing:)

That is wonderful to hear.

Hi Michaela,
What you describe prooves once more the fact, that it's a language and that we can learn it, if we take the trouble to learn it right! I don't know if you have Monty's textbook "From my hands to yours", in which you'll find all fine-tuned gestures we need to learn in order to communicate with our equine friends. You seem to have come quite a distance with your rescued mare, lucky mare to have found you and lucky you to have found such a wonderful teacher. She'll express herself in a very clear way, since she has a history of abuse, she needs to be sure never to be in a vulnerable situation again.
Keep the good work going and keep us posted on your progress,
Miriam
