Monty and Pat Roberts are pleased to announce three USA demonstrations in the next two months. The international growth of non-traditional and violence-free training of horses since 1996 when Montyâs autobiography The Man Who Listens to Horses was published, has drawn Monty to travel for over 20 years now. It is rare when Monty is able to demonstrate his mastery of horsemanship in the United States.

His Flag Is Up Farms will host two of the events in February and Jackpot Ranch in Camp Verde, Arizona will host the event in March.
February 14 in Solvang, California will be the first date. Called The Night of Inspiration, Monty will demonstrate his signature Join-Up®, starting a horse to his first saddle and rider in about 30 minutes. His history of starting horses since he was a young person inspires people to develop their skills in building trust and communication between horse and human.
February 21-22 in Solvang, California is the second date for a Riding with Respect clinic. This horsemanship clinic respects all the concepts Monty has used to win nine world championships across disciplines. This clinic strives to educate the attendees as to what Join-Up looks like in the saddle.
On March 14 in Camp Verde, Arizona, Mr. Roberts will be working with problem horses or unstarted horses, not known to him, that buck, rear, kick, are headshy, hard to catch, wonât stand to mount, have been single line lunged, fear clippers, are difficult to load on a trailer or just need ridden help. Preferring the title, The Man Who Listens to Horses, Monty claims, âEverybody and anybody can be a horse whisperer, as long as they are open to listening and learning.â

MONTY ROBERTS first gained widespread fame with the release of his New York Times Best Selling book, The Man Who Listens To Horses; a chronicle of his life and development of his non-violent horse training methods called Join-Up®. Monty grew up on a working horse farm as a firsthand witness to traditional, often violent methods of horse training and breaking the spirit with an abusive hand. Rejecting that, he went on to win nine world's championships in the show ring.
Today, Monty's goal is to share his message that "Violence is never the answer." Roberts has been encouraged by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with the award of the Membership in The Royal Victorian Order, as well as becoming Patron of Join-Up International. Other honors received were the ASPCA "Founders" award and the MSPCA George T. Angell Humanitarian Award. Monty 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.
Join-Up philosophies can be seen at work with both humans and horses across the world, from farms to major corporations.

Horse Sense and Soldiers aired on Discovery Military highlighting the therapeutic effect that horses and Monty Roberts' Join-Up® have on PTSD. Roberts has teamed with The Corporate Learning Institute to help transfer the key learningâs from his work to the workplace.
