“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

Today we had the wonderful Bronwen out to help. All I can say is wow :) I actually lead my pony!!!!! Ok to some this is not big news or even important but to me it is HUGE :) We also think that that ears back thing is a "default" setting for Tiny :) He did try to mug us for treats but after 5 tries he gave up and realized that there were none and the rest of the session went well. I am so proud of Tiny and myself (unusual thing for me to say as self esteem is usually rock bottom) and I can't wait to do my homework and to seeing the fantastic Bronwen again! Oh and I am working on my breathing!!

Whilst Bronwen was here we asked for her help with Gunner my daughters pony who was having a few issues with saddle and girthing up in particular and again we had a great success.

So Imogen (daughter) and I are in great moods and will no doubt be boring you all with our stories!!

Little steps brings success :)

Hi, that it fantastic to hear Sarah, and you are right to all be proud of yourselves. Looking forward to hearing about all the developments. So glad you found Bronwen :-)

Thanks Vicci - we are so pleased to have found Bronwen - she is so good and is a fab teacher to both horse and handler. She has also recommended a new farrier and a riding instructor so things are really looking up here. I even took a picture of Tiny tonight, something that I haven't done much of so I will try to find a way to upload it to here so you can see my boy!
Now I am off to learn more from Montys videos :)

Don't ever say leading a horse properly isn't important! It is a *fundamental* thing that absolutely MUST work for any kind of safe handling.
Only people who never had to muddle through the horror of having a horse raising objections to be towed about in a rope, thinks it is peanuts to do so.
.
It truly is a HUGE step for you both, and you are so right to be proud of yourself and Tiny. Keep up the good work and fingers crossed that new found self esteem will keep rising and bring you more success.
So happy for the two of you!

Aw Kicki what a lovely thing to say :) It really is a huge step for me. I was shaking like a leaf today before Bronwen came but by the end of the session I was laughing and smiling so much :) Tiny was so good and now I know about his ears and am looking for other signs that he is ok I feel so much more confident. When I went to feed him tonight he came up and had a rub on his neck - he has never wanted to be near me before! So happy :D xxxx

Excellent Sarah, you'll go far with your Kindness Training :) Really don't worry about saying you're boring us, we love hearing how things are moving forwards for you and being apart of your journey. Remember too, what you post will be of value to other readers that might read the forum, but not post in it.
Well done!!
