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.
Join Monty as he guides two un-started horses through their first four days of Join-Up®. This DVD set provides an in-depth description of how to humanely train un-started horses using their instinctual behaviour for better results.
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.
Watch Monty and a student use desensitisation to cause your horse to accept such potential “predators” as plastic bags and balloons. Have
more fun with your horse by enjoying routines that take your horse from wild and spooky to relaxed and happy.
