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.
Shy Boy, Monty Robert’s mustang companion, is finally telling his story…through his eyes and interpreted by Monty Roberts.
Beautifully illustrated, his tale is a compelling read for people of all ages.
Shy Boy’s life begins in the Nevada mountains, where he is born into a herd of wild American mustangs. Seeing the world through his eyes, you experience his first encounter with the humans who capture him from the wild as a three-year-old stallion. His surprise at meeting Monty, a man who moves and speaks like a horse, develops into a bond of trust that will last a lifetime.
Shy Boy takes us on a unique journey through the mind of the horse, encountering obstacles, challenges and rewarding experiences. His confident yet questioning nature makes him a natural storyteller as he recounts the amazing journey life has taken him on.
An utterly unique and uplifting adventure story, you will find yourself falling in love with this horse and his message.
The DVD entitled Shy Boy: The Horse That Came In From The Wild, chronicles what happens when – after Shy Boy’s first year on the farm – Monty answers the questions, “Would Shy Boy rather be free?” Monty takes Shy Boy back to the wild to let him choose once again: go with your herd, or stay with your gentler. What happens next will fascinate every viewer!
