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.
Rosie, an ultra-sensitive adopted mustang from the Bureau of Land Management, is following Monty around less than six minutes into her first lesson. Then the fun begins as she demands Monty’s full capabilities to help her learn to safely carry a human rider.
Monty challenges you to observe with him the leaps in learning a wild mustang can make when offered a chance to learn at her own pace without experiencing pain or force.
Watch as Monty is asked to find creative solutions to the difficult questions asked by this challenging and raw young mare.
In Horse Sense for People, Monty asks us to rethink the way we use power over others and shows you how with people, as with horses, the gentle way is the better way. Horse Sense for People demonstrates how trust, respect and communication – not coercion – are the keys to fruitful relationships.
