Monty Roberts: Understanding & Using the Dually Halter.

This video demonstrates techniques and principles for teaching your horse to stand still reliably in a variety of situations. Whether it’s for TREC competitions, farrier visits, veterinary procedures, grooming, or even tolerating applause, standing still is a skill your horse simply must master. You’ll see examples with Pie, who’s already pretty good at it, though the presence of a rather distracting donkey in the arena is noted!

Welcome back to Intelligent Horsemanship, your go-to channel for all things equine! In this video I’ll show you how to create a makeshift rope halter that is incredibly handy for those unexpected situations. Imagine encountering a loose horse, needing to safely catch a wild one or just simply forgetting to take your headcollar to the paddock.

This document, “7 Skills All Horse Owners Should Know,” by IHRA Sandra Williams, focuses on building a solid foundation with young horses before you even think about riding them. It’s all about establishing a strong bond and safe leadership through seven key ground-handling exercises. The main takeaway? Mastering these basics is absolutely crucial for both your safety and your horse’s well-being.
