Monty Roberts' Centaur Method

From Monty Roberts - www.montyrobertsuniversity.com

After closely observing the horse industry for more than 70 years now, I have been able to establish any changes that might have occurred when dealing with headshy horses. Many recent events would clearly indicate to the horse world that the concepts of schooling the headshy horse have remained essentially the same for the past 70 years and possibly much further back than that.

This video represents the first full disclosure of the entirely new concept that I have discovered, which we will call the Monty Roberts Centaur Method. This is the act of riding a quiet, cooperative horse while building on the platform established through Join-Up, Follow-Up and the use of the Dually Halter to work with the headshy horse from a different position than handling from the ground.

The importance of the centaur training method of is not likely to be fully appreciated until tens of thousands of horsepeople see it. It is desperately needed on a global basis because it sets the pattern for nonviolent training. It clearly illustrates how effective it is to communicate in the absence of violence, force or intimidation.

It is my opinion that the discovery I have made, that I will call 'centaur', will eventually change the world of dealing with headshy horses. It is my hope that from there is will go on to significantly reduce the number of headshy horses that are created by individuals who know no other way but force.

Absolutely people have trained from horseback before - but why have we never heard of this method being used to help headshy horses before?

To be fair I have to say that I have searched for long in the Internet in different languages and I have not found anyboby offering working with head shy horses as a solution for the problem.

Monty did take credit for working one horse off another. Not all horses! There were others before Monty and there will be others after Monty. The difference is that he shares his expertise and experiences in a learning format, easy for all of us to understand.

I don't care who takes "credit" for this technique...it does work and should be included in basic horse training as much as ground work.

HOW DARE YOU TAKE CREDIT FOR "DISCOVERING" WORKING ONE HORSE OFF ANOTHER!/?!?!!!~ REAL HORSEMEN HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR AGES!!! CRAIG CAMERON, MARTIN BLACK, VAN HARGIS, TOM CURTIN... REAL HORSEMEN DON'T GIVE IT A CUTESY NAME, IT'S JUST THE WAY TO START A SHY HORSE!!!!!

There is a growing list of horses that are now happy to have their ears rubbed and their heads scratched, licking and chewing and relaxing happily with their human partners. Join-Up!

The method works very well, but one thing I don't understand is, why Monty Robert says he invented the work with a horse while mounting . Just see how the "butteri" in Maremma Italy work with a young horse!
