“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 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

Have been doing join up with my horse ziggy maybe a dozen times in my arena. Two weeks ago my grandaughter, Anya (11 yrs old.) planed a trail ride. She has her own horse Magaza. She was gettin her horse ready and I went out in the pasture to get Ziggy. I had his halter and lead rope, walked up to him, let him smell the halter, and asked if wantd to go for a ride. Without putting the halter on him, I decided to just walk in front of him and he then followed me to the barn to be saddled. Anya saw all this and I explained, 'Thats join up.
Thank you Mr. Roberts,

WOW! that is a great result, I cant wait to have that kind of relationship with a horse one of these days.

A rider without horse is just a human, but a horse without rider is still a horse! 2011-Apr-17 at 09:45AM

I have never tried the join up in that way, but I sometimes play liberty with my horses, it's very similar to the join up and it was always a great feeling! I really love it!

I have been working on join up with an Arab Teighan and on Saturday we finally got it! So exciting! Teighan even followed me over a jump. I loved it, and I think he did too. We just played together in the arena and then he stood without halter or bridle for a long luxurious grooming. That was too cool. We met up again yesterday, and we played again. Awesome feeling!!
