Answer 1

I use natural methods with all the horses I work with (most are screwed up by people, that's how I come to work on them). Monty Roberts training is fantastic, I can't praise him and Kelly Marks enough, have adopted lots of their practices, makes my job a whole lot easier and soooooooo rewarding, I wouldn't use anything else. Currently dealing with a 2 year old coloured cob who is nearing 16 hands already (previously owned by gypsies so you KNOW how she's been treated), responding really really well, also a sport horse conemara who's been abused for years, but over jumping and stuff, took this very scared and scarey to handle horse back to basics, did join up with her, now is an absolute pleasure to be around (2 years of not being able to catch her by previous owners). Have fun, sounds like what you are doing is great, I'm all for natural horse handling! Good on you (fellow UK person)

Answer 2

I prefer Monty Roberts natural training to anyone else's. I have heard too many complaints fmo the Parelli people that their horse wont get off of them once they have taught them the games. Plus I have been using Monty Robert's technique for years and it works.

Answer 3

Yes, I love the natural training. I've watched alot of Clinton Anderson dvd's and like his methods the best. There are many out there, but for me, I like this ways. Natural way is the best!
