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.
The Three-Disc DVD series take Join-Up training principles and applies them to common remedial horse behavior. The Fix-Up series applies Monty’s principles to challenging situations such as crossing water, preparing for the farrier, trailer loading, as well as challenging behaviours such as kicking and pulling back. Monty walks you through each challenging behaviour, showing you how the horse’s instincts affect their actions – and how to use this same instinctual behaviour to train your horse.
Single line lunging damages ligaments, tendons and muscles by causing your horse to curve his spine away from the direction of travel. It schools horses to become hollow and crooked with a tendency to disunite. Monty’s Long Lining techniques will help you trigger radical improvement in performance by improving paces, muscle tone and to develop perfect symmetry, shape and natural grace.
