Question
My mate chomps at the bit when she starts to get anxious she has a nervous problem from previous riding, how do I stop this? She stops for a minute when I say no?

Answer
Don’t just say no. I can say no to you, and you and I know what it means. The horse will understand tone and is sensitive to the vibrations of the spoken word.

In the face of the challenges posed by the current global COVID-19 situation, Monty Roberts Shop is working to maintain reliable service for you.
During this time, we have noted increased delivery timeframes from the US Postal Service for our International Customers due to a reduced number of flights and delays in customs, which at times have been substantial. In light of this, we would recommend Fedex for International Orders as they provide a higher level of tracking & service and also have been more successful meeting their delivery timeframes.
For our Domestic Customers, deliveries may take additional time due to transportation delays, which have been noted, but have not been substantial at this point. If you have a time sensitive order, we would recommend using Fedex or Priority Mail

REDUCING VIOLENCE THROUGH WORKSHOPS
WITH HORSES GLOBALLY
"The horses bring us back to the present moment, to the here and now. Nothing compares to the moment you Join-Up with a horse, silently, and the rest of the world just disappears and an instant connection is made.”

MONTY'S CHALLENGE
Test yourself each week as I challenge you to answer the question below. I mean this. Sit down and write an answer. Don't wait for my answer next week. If you have been reading my Weekly Questions and Answers for the last six months, you should be in a position to do this. Send your answer to my team at:
askmonty@montyroberts.com
Why should you bother? Because it will help you focus. There is probably a comparable question in your life that needs answering... or will be. If you can gain insight into how to go about answering a practical question that is loosely related to your problem, this exercise will help you answer your nagging question. Then read my answer. I want all of my students to learn to be better trainers than me.That's good for you and good for horses!
~ Monty
NEXT WEEK'S QUESTION
Hi Monty, I’m a new horse owner and I have a 20-month-old colt I’ve never done a Join-Up with. He’s already pretty connected to me. Would it benefit me to do one and should I wait until he’s a little older? Thanks, Kevin B.
