“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.

I thought riding a horse on the track after a two hour ship was brutal until I saw how happy the horse was to, what seemed, let his stress out and run for fun. I was thinking that the approach was a good one before shows when ridden right after shipping.

Yes, Clemhaven, I thought the same thing: "oh, he must not rest. He can come out and have some fun!" Yes, and why not ? that teaches me that we often think into the totally wrong direction. VioBerlin

I really enjoyed seeing this big horse running,and I absolutely get it as to how important it is for him to keep a good mind set and to improve his already amazing athletisism.Oh for a track or a beach and that freedom!So many horses,especially in jumping and dressage need this track work to let them GO ! It will make them so much stronger and happier in their disciplines.Even barn soured riding school hacks would totally transform if they had this facility.Here I have dirt tracks to ride but always have to have(light) hand on the brake just in case there's a damned car coming round the next bend,which inhibits my horse from doing what IS his intrinsic nature,RUN!If I could really run him freely,I am sure he would unglue his brain via his feet.See my "Won't go out" in forum.Wonderful Uni! many thanks Mr.Roberts,loved the spin!
