 Horsemanship CoursesOpen your eyes to a whole new perspective on your horse’s methods of communication and behavior. Experience what hundreds of students have discovered at Monty Roberts International Learning Center; a wonderful learning environment where you will enjoy the staff, meet new friends and return home with a better understanding of your equine companion. Every horse enthusiast can find lessons below to fit their interests. Monty’s Special TrainingThis is your only chance this year to be at Flag Up Up Farms with Monty, watching, asking questions and learning as Monty works with a range of young and remedial horses. By observing this unique and gifted man, you gain first hand knowledge during demonstrations, lectures and discussions. This class is for the novice as well as the advanced student to observe a master at work. Monty demonstrates how to communicate with horses in their natural language in various situations during this intensive 5-day class. This learning will provide you with the educational tools you need to address leadership issues, ground manners, teaching to tie, crossing water (and/or obstacles), loading, head-shyness, mounting, bucking, standing for the farrier, kicking, and biting. This exclusive training program helps you better understand problem solving using Monty’s violence-free training methods. Spend time with like-minded people absorbing what non-violent communication can be. Enjoy lunch and lively discussions too with Monty and students from around the world.
Join-UpThe Join-Up® course is a four-day introduction to the language of ‘Equus’ and offers you a solid understanding of the signs and reciprocal gestures of the language of horses. Over the four days you will discover the importance of body language, breathing, spatial awareness and the effect of your intentions when in the presence of a horse. Beginning to understand and create a trust-based relationship with your horse will provide a valuable foundation for any equine discipline. You will learn Monty’s concepts through demonstrations, discussions, video and practical hands-on exercises and round pen work. As a student you will be familiarized with the first steps of Monty’s Join-Up® process, which teaches humans to communicate with horses using their natural body language.
This course is based on groundwork with horses and does not include any ridden exercises. To optimize your learning, the two-day Long Lining course runs directly after the completion of the Join-Up® course, further enhancing your ability to train equine behavior.
