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 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

I would love a video on the basics of building up to putting your horses first saddle on, and what to do when the saddle is on. I think that would help a lot of people with young horses, as well as me (before backing my young pony, i want to know that i am getting it right, for her sake more than my own) Thanks :)

I too have a Couple of young horses and would also be interested in the same type of video.

Hi Meg and Sirus,
I was looking up on the Uni because I thought I could remember there was a lesson of saddling up etc.
Look at join-up with children and you find that part. But do I understand right that you mean ,starting with foals from scratch 1, saddling up etc? I can't find the video's what Sasafras is suggesting.
If you go down to the last lesson, you will see that there are a lot of lessons coming up soon for foals. It says also, if you have any suggestions tell this through the forum.... so if you write to the support that this is one of your questions, maybe Monty and his team can put this suggestion to there list.
I am waiting for this new information/video for foals, because it would be wonderfull to start in a proper way.
There is in the forum a question about imprinting, you can look it up on your dashboard....There are also some comments as well about this....
Wait and see what happens, I am sure that Monty and his team will work on this.
Good luck, kind regards May, from Holland
