“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

Hi everyone, I have been a member on the online uni since June & have enjoyed many hours of viewing lessons on my ipad 4 however since upgrading to ios7 I can't get the video lessons to play. They have a play arrow with a line through it. Has anyone experienced this problem and managed to fix it? I'm really needing to access the lessons.

Hope someone can help :)

Thanks Vicci i have left an enquiry with them. I can access the uni lessons on my laptop thank goodness but it's something to do with apple's update for ipads. Very annoying as I use my ipad all the time for the lessons because it's so portable.

ah glad I saw this? I too am getting problems on the iPad
first problem was after completing all the lessons some from the iPad some from the PC, the iPad didn't register the lessons as being completed, so although I've been through all the lessons I'm having to repeat them. when doing it on the iPad if I've finished a lesson and want to stop for the evening, rather than just leaving it that I've completed the lesson I have to click the next lesson link for it to register that I've completed it. Only if I click next lesson on the iPad does it register that I've completed the lesson.
On the 18th of this month I did several lessons on the iPad all successful, then the 19th I couldn't play any of the videos. I could play the demo videos when not logged in, but as soon as I logged in no videos in the lessons would play. There has been no updates to my iPad, so I contacted support. We went through several possible reasons but they all failed. They now advised the designers to check further into it. I'll post an update when I hear further.

Thanks for your help Debbie.
A little bit for the iPad if this occurs:
Click the + button for a new tab on the browser, it will come up with your normal suggestions, but at the bottom of the page on the left hand side there is a 'Private' button, click this and it will reset setting back to public viewing so the video's will work.
