He the one who bears the horse not his farther Monty was a spoilt child was in all the horse shows please look at Shy Boy feet coming in out the wilds with Monty Shy Boy got shoes on

I WISH my pony would trailer like that!

Awesome book. Monty Roberts is an amazing person who has been knighted by the queen of England and has had amazing relationships with horses. Starting at 3 years old. I have personally read all his books. A+

I loved the cassette tapes (bought many years ago now and listened to endlessly!) of Shy Boy's story so much I cried, especially when that little pony turned and came back to Monty's camp. I bought a signed copy of the book too and Monty signed it again for me in Snetteron, Norfolk, UK a few years ago too. Bless you Monty. XX

beautiful horse and I am going to buy the book. thank you

if monty roberts is so great. why did my boss have to take 2 horses from return to fredom in lompoc, ca and undo everything that was done to them. one of the geldings was so traumatized that he couldn't turn his head due to being terrified and shut down. we run across messed up monty horses all the time, but of course why would he post about his screw ups.

This is like the sweetest thing.!!!

I've worked with horses and ponies before , and I think mr Roberts is right about horses responding to body language! Like dogs , horses can tell when you're scared, and they respond in kind. You have to stay calm when you're around them , otherwise you can't do anything!

This is something I Will try at home I think...

@rathmiron The Dually halter is Monty 's patented gentle schooling halter whereby the horse trains himself to come off the pressure when he is negative and get immediate release when he is positive. The noseband is key with its rolled cotton core and soft nylon that glides through the rings for immediate feedback. Monty has used a form of this gentle technique for over 50 years.

@showjumpinggal108 Yes, Monty says incremental learning is the way to calmly train your horse to get comfortable loading in a trailer. Horses are not cave dwellers :) and it is a bit much to ask for them to be comfortable naturally. We can help them trust us by spending time when there is no place to go and just practicing loading. For no other reason, what if there was an emergency - fire or something - it is our obligation to be fair to our horses and spend time calmly learning.

I love how monty trains the horse to load and makes it look so easy! :) I have tried this with my horse but he always runs away and refuses to walk near the box , it makes it very stressful on the way to a competition and on the way home as it takes about half an hour to an hour to load him . Is their anything else i could do ?? :/

@mastachef2010 It will take some time and trust. Have you achieved a Join-Up with him?

i REALLY want to try this on this shetland that i no!!

i dont know what to do were i board him says if i cant get him to calm down i cant keep him there hes big and knows it hes gone threw 3 fences just to get away,were. I bought him from they sent him to the meninites for a month to be broke to drive i broke him to ride. I feal he doesnt trust me but i have never done anything to him when i lounge him he will come right to me and follow be around but if i turn around to fast in his eyes or go to pat him and tell him good boy he takes off

Hello, I hope you can give me some advice I have a 3 year old draft he green broke to ride and drive , He is so spooky he will jump on top of people if they dont get out of the way , he freaks is anything moves fast even opeing a gate he will flip out rearing and take off he is so hard to catch i can go out there rub him no problem as soon as he sees a halter he takes off and if you have ahold of his main he will rear up. Please can someone give me some advice?

I officialy love this guy!!

@VeriSheri lol i know what you mean they say its so easy to teach their horses but in reality its not easy to teach our horses lol

i didnt realy see, but what is special about the halter he's using?

@VeriSheri all horses are smart, no such thing as a dumb horse just dumb people that don't understand the horse :) he does this with lots olf different types of horses and ponies

@AdorkableLex What are you waiting for kid?!!! Do it.

I love Monty, hes amazing. I just bought an appy X sports horse. She will be 6 months when I bring her home. I wish she could stay with her mother longer. But this is the age her breeder says she's ready to go. What I'm wondering is if you can start join up on a weanlings? It shows Monty teaching join up on this little weanling, but everywhere I've read you should wait til they are 2. The thing is if I can join up with her when she is a weanling, teaching her to be brave will be much easier.

OK, this is a smart horse. I'd like to see him do this with a dumb, rank horse.

its great, i will try it with my horse next time. I hope that this metothe works... Because i have try so much :D My Horse is not scary but she have no fun to go in the trailer. A very stolid horse :)

The dually halter is a life saver, and this guy is by far the best horse whisperer.

excuse me.. i have a filly that is going through a problem with her back legs. i dont rush or use harsh handling of any sort. shes good all round and quieter then my older horse. i have a feeling something or someone has harmed her or she has leg problems. but then again people say its nothing that shes just getting older and fussy. i tried the stick hand but soon as i use my own she flinches and jolts forward....why?

i loved his demo when i went to watch him because he doesn't only speak his thought but speaks the horses for them like 'come on come over here... *changes voice* oh but mr roberts i don't wanna go over there' its really funny but really helps you understand how the horse feels

I really love his personality to the horses. Not only is he slow but he gentle and almost "motherly" if you know what I mean. He pushes the babe just out the its comfort zone and then comes back into the comfort zone without ever mentally damaging the horse. He is really lovely to watch

would a join-up work with a 1yr old filly?

i have an andalusian who just shuts down as very smart and very cheeky. we have been stood due to his napping half on the yard half off and stood there for an hour. cannot reccomend this headcollar enough. worked within seconds of using it. expensive but works! he makes decision himself and walk on no problem.... brat he is!!!!

@Shokara2 Presumably pmu means the horrible 'pregnant mare urine' industry that treats foals like waste products. Shut it down by boycotting the products, humane plant product alternatives exist. I work with rescue horses and I have also raised orphaned kittens who were tiny, my cats. My experience is any type of rescued animal will bond even more deeply with the rescuer - their love and gratitude is very strong. I have experienced this many times. I have used Monty's system already - fantastic!

Wow! this was wonderful to watch... have never seen Monty Roberts train before so this was a very pleasant experience... wish he lived closer!!

I don't have a dually halter (yet) but I took the tip I saw here and started using a very long rope (and a lot of patience -no pressure) to take my boy in the trailer. Loading went from 2,5 hours to 20 minutes is progress is being made.

woooooo:) i love montys online universtiy, its the best!!!!

monty u are amazing and i wish also that everyone else with horses could see how u do =) and treat horses how they need to be treated..ty sir!

@rebonfie What may help is teach your horse to step up onto ground levels of different height...have you ever seen videos where people get there horses to stand on logs and stumps and bridges, if you have anything similar to that then that could help with loading into a trailer without a ramp :)

My cob seems to have suddenly no longer want to go in the trailer, and I have a dually halter so I will try this next time. Also, is it safe for a horse to travel with the dually halter on or will I have to change it once he's loaded?

i love monty roberts.

This is so amazing. -3

i wonder if he has any tips for getting a horse to cross water! my horse is a DREAM on the trails, until we get to the creek! :/

Monty has about 15 DVDs of lessons now and 7 books. I highly recommend From My Hands to Yours, his textbook. And his EQUUS online university on his website

@Shinypants52 Yes, Monty has done a Join-Up with a wild mustang on 1000s of acres. You want the horse's energy to flow as opposed to stopping their flight mechanism down in the corners of an arena. Some people have used bales or jump poles in the corners to round out the arena.

@debbieloucks LOL exactly Diazreta. Breed doesn't give 100% give temperament... the horses experiences do. PMUs are taken away from their mothers EXCEPTIONAL young.. far from even being weaned some when they are only days or even hours old. They severely lack trust from that bond being taken away too soon... or having never been allowed to even form.

@TheTimeTells yep of course. Ive also done something similar to this with useing a regualr haulter and a flat lunge line run up through the side rings, looped around the nose forming a circle and back out the other side then clipped under the chin. I do that with horses who also like to rear while being led. I do NOT like chains. I prefer to have the loop that tightens then looses to a chain that pinches and can hurt.

I really love the people who don't just stick die hard to one particular trainer. I think that all the famous horse trainers have great ideas on horse training. Its all about blending and finding the right combination for you and your horse. Although, Monty Roberts is my favorite

@gemorge most racehorse trainers just want their horses to be the fastest. They could care less if the horse is jumpy or not. and yea ALL horse trainers should see this. You can still have a fast horse without it being jumpy as all getout. or gate shy

@debbieloucks The Dually lets the horse decide where he is most comfortable and teaches himself the sweetspot. It is where horses follow Monty around the pen naturally with nothing on their head :) Watch Monty do a Join-Up(R) and Follow-Up and see where the horse follows him at his shoulder.

@TheTimeTells You can - but it takes much longer and can be more forceful for the horse. The Dually twists slightly (like when you get a twist in your sock) and is less comfortable. So when the horse pushes into or pulls back from the Dually, he is less comfortable.

Cool Monty

Unbelievable, I love Monty, I learn so much from only his videos
