Horse trainer, Join-Up Concept Founder
"A good horse trainer can get a horse to do what he wants him to do. A great trainer can get a horse to want to do it."

Monty Roberts is renowned for his horse training abilities across disciplines. Known for his New York Times bestselling autobiography, The Man Who Listens to Horses, Monty started a revolution over nearly 30 years ago in horse training, away from the traditional methods of ‘breaking’ horses. He received an MVO from Queen Elizabeth II for his work with horses and humans together. Horse and Hound Magazine named Monty as one of the Top 50 All Time Greatest Horsemen. He is the creator of the world-renowned and revolutionary equine training technique called Join~Up. Monty shares his message that “Violence is never the answer.” He is credited with launching the first of its kind Equus Online University; an interactive online lesson site that is the definitive learning tool for violence-free training. Monty continues to tour the world demonstrating concepts using the nature of horses to get breakthrough results in training and better ways to partner with our equine friends.
