The Join-Up® Course is a 5-day introduction to the language of 'Equus,' the silent language of horses. As a student of this course you will be familiarized with the first steps of Monty Roberts’ Join-Up® process which teaches humans to communicate with horses in their own natural language. You will learn the foundation of horse psychology and the Join-Up methods, both in the roundpen and outside. We will practice using our body consciously to communicate with horses and to analyze and understand the horses’ reactions. Through the use of the correct gestures and signals you will gain a trust based relationship with horses, which is valuable for every work with horses. Based on this cooperation you will achieve better training results, no matter in which discipline. You will have an opportunity to learn about Monty's concepts through lecture, discussion, video and hands-on round pen exercises. We will also spend sufficient time to practice the training with the Dually halter and long lining with double lines.
The Foundation Join-Up® and Follow-Up Course™ is a prerequisite to participate in the Follow-Up™ Course. Both courses can be taken to work towards the Introductory course certificate (please see Introductory course modular for more information).

The Introductory Course is the first step to gain an in-depth understanding of Monty's concepts. Students from various equine backgrounds are welcome to take part, as there are no prerequisites for this course. To those of you with little or no horse knowledge, we recommend the participation in the Horsemanship 1.0.1. class prior to this course.
The Introductory Course is designed to provide you with a well-rounded knowledge in general horsemanship such as the basics in horse performance, feeding and nutrition with a strong emphasis on horse psychology. As the foundation of Monty's work, and a prerequisite for the Advanced course at the Monty Roberts Equestrian Academy in California, you will be learning the method of Join-Up® as it relates to various environments. You will have the opportunity to build your skills in Dually™ halter work, long lining, herding exercises and loading.
This 2-week course starts at the Learning Center and offers practical lectures in horse psychology and a strong emphasis on practical, hands-on experience. After the 2-week course, students will study further theory in horsemanship via online learning. Furthermore, students will complete several months of a field study at home and submit videotapes of their work bi-monthly for evaluation. To receive a certificate of the Introductory Course you will return for written and practical exams.
After successful completion of the exams, students will receive the certificate as a graduate of the “Monty Roberts Introductory course”. This certificate allows them to go on to the next level, the Advanced course at the Monty Roberts Equestrian Academy in California and is therefore the first step for a professional career in Monty’s methods.
