Watch Monty's horse training videos to learn how he demonstrates communication through horse training techniques that the amateur and professional alike consider to be the trainable skills of a horse whisperer yet Monty calls it horse gentling.
Monty's horse training techniques are non violent with intelligent natural horsemanship. In addition to video instructions, Monty has written many books related to natural horsemanship. Monty trains safe horses for nervous riders called Willing Partners. Monty trains world class race horses for sale.
“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

Does anybody here know whether I can take the certification courses alone to start a career with horses or do I have to do all of Monty's courses listed there? Some of them cost ALOT of money!!

Hi Horse addict,
I think you need to complete the certifiacation courses and then do an internship at Flag is Up Farm. Read the description of the Certification courses on the Monty's website that outlines it pretty well.
I do not beleive you have to take all the courses offered. I took the introcdtory class in Feb. 2011 and it was wonderful.
Good luck !!
let me kno what you decide to do.

Hi Horse Addict
.
Yes, you need to do the Intro Course, then the Advanced Course and then an Internship in order to have a career with horses Monty Roberts style - you don't have to do all of the others.
.
You could still have a career with horses without being a Monty Roberts Instructor. There are University degrees you can do in horse management and training as well.
.
You are right, the Monty Roberts courses are not cheap, but I reckon they are well worth the effort.
.
I am doing my Intro Course in September this year and can hardly wait!! As I live in Australia, I have to save up the money to go to California to do the Advanced Course and hopefully after I complete that I will be able to do an Internship.
.
And, correct me if I am wrong, but I think you have to be "chosen" to do an Internship. I don't think you can just say you want to do it and enrol. I may well be wrong on that, so anyone reading can feel free to correct me.
.
The way I see it, is that if after I do the Intro and Advanced courses I am not cut out for an Internship, I will have learnt so much along the way it will still be worth the effort I made no matter what.
.
I hope you can find a way to do the Monty Roberts Certification courses if that's what you really want to do. Richandi is right in that the description on the Certification courses on the website is pretty good.
.
Best of luck :-)
.
Kind regards,
.
Gen

Thanks Gen and richandi! I do really want to take the certification courses, as soon as I can find a job so I can earn enough money. Don't know where I could get a sponsor.

Don't worry Horse Addict. Where there is a will there is always a way :-)

Thank you Gen for your encouragement! :)

Yes Gen & Horse Addict, you must be SELECTED to do an internship, if Monty does not feel you are stong enough in his concepts. Usually he will ask you to do work at home and send him video and when he feels you are at a level of knowledge that is acceptable to him, then you would be invited to intern with him.

Thankyou Crystal
