Monty Roberts Join-Up® DVD (Learn The Language Of 'Equus')

Join-Up® is a consistent set of training principles using the horse's inherent methods of communication and herd behaviour rather than force. The result is a willing partnership in which the horse's performance can flourish to its full potential, rather than exist within the boundaries of obedience.

In this DVD, Monty discusses the foundation of Join-Up® and the philosophy behind it all. This is a great introduction to the basic principles that Monty uses in all his work.

Running time: 60 minutes.

While tracking wild mustangs in Nevada as a boy, Monty observed a nonverbal communication between the horses, a silent language he would later call "Equus." Monty incorporates "Equus" into his non-violent training approach called Join-Up®.

Monty first developed Join-Up® to stop the cycle of violence typically accepted in traditional horse breaking. Convinced there must be a more effective and gentle method, Monty created these consistent set of principles using the horse's inherent methods of communication and herd behaviour. The result is a willing partnership in which the horse's performance can flourish to its full potential, rather than exist within the boundaries of obedience.

These principles are valuable tools to understanding what motivates horse behaviour and increasing effectiveness in any application.
