“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 to see a uni lesson on horses that are barn sour and buddy sour. My 18 year old mare does not like to leave her friends at home, and she is in a hurry to return to the barn. What suggestions do you have to help cure these related issues?

Thanks Monty!

Great idea! We will search for a couple of horses we can use as our 'stars' for Monty to demonstrate the lesson with :)

Thank you Laurie! We need that lesson in the line up, absolutely!

I'm still looking for a lesson with buddy sour? This is miserable as I can't ride my horse away from the the other one, and I don't always want to be with someone to ride? Can someone please shed some light on this if there isn't a lesson on it?

Hi vrichardson7,
Since the lesson is not yet on the UNI, there is something else you can do: read Monty's book 'From My Hands To Yours' there's a chapter about barnsore and buddysore horses.
Remember to always stay safe, keeping in mind that your horse thinks his life is at stake, when separated from his buddy.

Hi. Miriam makes an excellent suggestion. I've found From My Hands To Yours invaluable. It's not a read from cover to cover volume. It's a proper text book. Each subject is thoroughly dealt with & the diagrams are clear & easy to follow. But most useful is that, unlike many manuals, it gives reasons why problems occur & why the solutions offered work. This leaves room for expansion of knowledge. If you need to adapt - because you don't have access to a given facility or you need to work alone it's made do-able because Monty doesn't just instruct, he explains - in depth. A very worthwhile, relatively small investment for anyone associated with horses. Cheers. Jo.

@vrichardson7 Monty's textbook is a companion to this online University. For buddy sour, you will find in the book that there needs to be a separation to 'de-bond' https://montyrobertsshop.com/collections/books/products/from-my-hands-to-yours-3rd-edition-by-monty-roberts
