“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
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

These lessons on acupuncture have been really interesting and great, but i was confused on the last one as to why he injected hydrochloric acid into the horse? Can someone explain to me what that does and what the point of it is? Thanks! :D

That is a great question. I did a little research and the HCI injection for horses acts as a calming agent and allows the horse to relax without sedation. http://www.drugs.com/vet/xylazine-hcl-injection.html

OK guys,
I did extented research on this HCI !!!!!!!
BEWARE Please.....
It is very corosive. It is used in working with steel.
Now if that isn't bad enoungh there are derivatives from it.
HCL is just as bad and so are many more.
We may wonder why our children and ourselves are getting so many diseases, these are just some of the "foods" that HCI is used to make.
Aspartame, fructose,citric acid, lysine, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and gelatin.
Can you imagine, that worldwide these ingredients are allowed in our food !!!!
Never mind injecting it into anything, there is no safe way to make derivatives from it.
Keep healthy and happy,
Ronda

Hi all,

-Xylazine is a sedative, used to relax the horse and its muscles.

- HCL is a corrosive acid, not used on living animals.

I am not a physian, neither am I a vet, but I think these are two different pairs of shoes!
Is there anyone out there that can explain the difference?
Thanks,

Miriam

To Majestic and miriam, don't worry so much about HCl being a dangerous and corrosive acid! Personally, i've had a lot of experience with this acid, and when dilute it is perfectly safe and i respect Dr.Anders for using it, because it works for him and he uses it safely. HCl is only dangerous when it is very concentrated, such as the HCl in your stomach!
Thank you Dennis for the answer and the website! :)
