“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 am taking care of several horses in our stables and one of them is an elder ponie lady called jojo.lovely but oh well she is no friend of running circles.she does evrything to pleasure you, tells you to concentrate on the lesson and is hell of fun in running bucking and canter all the way with no rider on. well, the other day we went for a walk in the circle and had some little trott in very slow motion....and it's like, ya know, driving a car as you turn on the motor and put in a gear and it rolls on. that's what jojo does.but at one point she gets upset as I said if you leave her alone, trotting, dreaming along about the big black stallion you saw on tv last night(they are always friesen...)and maybe, well maybe, you even forget to walk. then jojo doesnt slow down or canter, no no...she turns right up behind me, stops at my shoulder and her breath is in my neck like: well let's go and have some food!I am finished cause you are sleeping!!
and this cute little igrl is mking me laugh cause, ya know, she is right...they all have the right to ask for attention. good night and sweet ponie-dreams!

Hi Christel,
Welcome to the Uni and to the forum!
It's great to have you with us, we've known eachother for quite some years now, helping out on tour with Monty in Germany. The Uni and it's forum will connect you with so many others from over the world, all stepping into Monty's footsteps.
Your story about the elder pony touches me, it reminds me of my former mare, wise and old as she was......
Looking forward to seeing you on tour in the weeks to come!
Keep the good work going,
Miriam
