Monty is known as the “Man
Who Listens to Horses”. He is one of the pioneers
of non-violent training techniques and is best
know for his Join-Up® principles. His mission
is to leave the world a better place than he
found it for horses and for people, too.
Monty first learned to
"listen" to horses while observing wild mustangs
in Nevada at the age of thirteen. He spent hours
silently watching the feral horses interact
with each other. He realised they used a discernable,
effective and predictable body language to communicate,
set boundaries, show fear and express annoyance,
relaxation or affection. In a moment that would
change his life and the lives of horses and
people forever, Monty understood that this silent
language would allow training to commence in
a much more effective and humane manner. Later,
he would name this moment of partnership “Join~Up,”
and it would become the foundation of all his
work with horses and people.To learn more about
