“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

Hi -
Just wanted to know if anybody has any names that i could give this horse (?) :
He is 12 year old Arab and chestnut in color. I don't know the names of his sire or dam ;
and i like the idea of having a 'different language' name - maybe arabic or spanish? - that can be shortened into a nickname.
Thank you
Charlotte :)

Castan Tywysog means Chestnut Prince in welsh - could be shortened to Castan (Chestnut) ?

I have a chestnut Arab gelding whose name is Amigo, and it fits so perfectly. It can't really be shortened, but I call him Buddy anyway. Just an idea.

Hi everyone -
i have decided to name him Latif Pizaz. Latif is Arabian for gentle, friendly, and patient; and i found out his sires name was\is Hoof prints pizaz. I call him Taffy for short, as a nickname for Latif, and Taffy is a type of toffy, and he is a toffy color. i found latif on the 'masculine arabic names', so thank you Jan :)
Thanks for suggestions everybody :)

Hi Charlotte

Congratulations, a lovely name; I've been looking forward to hearing! For extra info, (I'm full of useless information lol) Taffy is also a slang name for a Welsh person (though must be used with great care as there is a lot of etiquette around its use!)and Arabs were introduced into the some of the Welsh pony gene pool many years ago and the traits can still be seen!
