the dually halter has and extra strap across the nose that tightens when you pull on the lead rope and softens if your not putting any tension on the lead rope. Monty Roberts uses it a lot to train young horses and its not harmful if its used properly.
I don't have a dually halter (yet) but I took the tip I saw here and started using a very long rope (and a lot of patience -no pressure) to take my boy in the trailer. Loading went from 2,5 hours to 20 minutes is progress is being made.
i have an andalusian who just shuts down as very smart and very cheeky. we have been stood due to his napping half on the yard half off and stood there for an hour. cannot reccomend this headcollar enough. worked within seconds of using it. expensive but works! he makes decision himself and walk on no problem.... brat he is!!!!
@rathmiron The Dually halter is Monty 's patented gentle schooling halter whereby the horse trains himself to come off the pressure when he is negative and get immediate release when he is positive. The noseband is key with its rolled cotton core and soft nylon that glides through the rings for immediate feedback. Monty has used a form of this gentle technique for over 50 years. See more MontyRoberts.xxx
@rebonfie Some horses feel as if they are falling off the end of the earth to back out of a trailer that is a step up. Monty prefers ramps for that reason. Having said that, for schooling a horse to a step up (less than desirable) you can dig slight holes where the tires will drop down into a bit and bring the trailer level down to a less dramatic height for the horse to back out of. This will stop down his stabbing at the ground to find where the ground meets his weight. Hope that helps.
During Join-Up, when I send the horse away from me in the round pen, I am saying, I am giving you an opportunity to choose for yourself. Flee, if that is what you feel is best for you. I want the horse to be free to choose his own course, because in that state of mind learning will occur. I patiently wait for the requested gestures of renegotiation.
@TheTimeTells yep of course. Ive also done something similar to this with useing a regualr haulter and a flat lunge line run up through the side rings, looped around the nose forming a circle and back out the other side then clipped under the chin. I do that with horses who also like to rear while being led. I do NOT like chains. I prefer to have the loop that tightens then looses to a chain that pinches and can hurt.
@TheTimeTells You can - but it takes much longer and can be more forceful for the horse. The Dually twists slightly (like when you get a twist in your sock) and is less comfortable. So when the horse pushes into or pulls back from the Dually, he is less comfortable.
walk behind her with a lunge line (works with my horse). Make sure all possible doors in the trailer are open making it as light and airy as possible and so it doesn't seem shut in. If you can travel her with another horse or sit in back yourself cos horses don't like being alone. And hang a haynet right at the back for the journey. Hope this all helps :)
@debbieloucks The Dually lets the horse decide where he is most comfortable and teaches himself the sweetspot. It is where horses follow Monty around the pen naturally with nothing on their head :) Watch Monty do a Join-Up(R) and Follow-Up and see where the horse follows him at his shoulder.
Get a dualy halter, along with "Join Up", I worked a Monty Roberts show when I was 12 and bought a bunch of training tapes along with a dualy halter, for one horse in particular, we usualy had to force him on by tieing a rope behind him and pulling him onto the triler, wich was so bad, and it scared him and it took 2 ouhers to load him that way.Now I can just let my horses go and they laod them selvs.
@rebonfie What may help is teach your horse to step up onto ground levels of different height...have you ever seen videos where people get there horses to stand on logs and stumps and bridges, if you have anything similar to that then that could help with loading into a trailer without a ramp :)
I have a question. I think this'll work really well with my mare but we don't have anywhere to put the trailer that can have the gates either side of it -- and she just runs to the side every time? Any suggestions?
wonderful as usual, and can I say, cld be wrong, but isn't it the case that, especially for loading, the timing is absolutely crucial, that pull at the wrong time on the halter and you give the opposite message - it's like with a new language, you can have the right word and say the right word, but if the accent's wrong, that word will prob be incomprehensible to a person of that language? can't remember how much MR emphasises timing, maybe he's so fluent in equus he doesn't notice it?
Amazing man!! cud anyone help me? My pony wont load for me well, sumtyms anyway. Shes not scared of the trailer and when my friend had her she used to load fine. Its so fustraighting because she just plants her feet and wont walk!! we put food in the trailer but she just strechers her neck and gets it and then backs out again!! Its sometimes taken me 2 hours to get home from shows!!! Any Ideas would be great!!!xx
Part 2 When the horse exercises his option to come to me rather than to go away, I welcome him as strongly as I can in the Language of Equus. I reinforce his choice so that we can work together in harmony. It is my hope that we can go forward from that point in the certain knowledge that we mean no harm to one another.
hm well me and my horse has alrdy cleared up the join up thing... the only problem is when she sees a open trailer she backs like 20 metres.. its almost impossible to make her move forward :/ i rlly waqnna try this but its hard when she doesn't wanna move, ive tried to go to the side and drag abit like he does at 1:14 but it just end up with her backing up even more.. am thinkin about that ive got the wrong tools.. maybe i should get a monty roberts halter? suggestions? :/
@showjumpinggal108 Yes, Monty says incremental learning is the way to calmly train your horse to get comfortable loading in a trailer. Horses are not cave dwellers :) and it is a bit much to ask for them to be comfortable naturally. We can help them trust us by spending time when there is no place to go and just practicing loading. For no other reason, what if there was an emergency - fire or something - it is our obligation to be fair to our horses and spend time calmly learning.
I love how monty trains the horse to load and makes it look so easy! :) I have tried this with my horse but he always runs away and refuses to walk near the box , it makes it very stressful on the way to a competition and on the way home as it takes about half an hour to an hour to load him . Is their anything else i could do ?? :/
My cob seems to have suddenly no longer want to go in the trailer, and I have a dually halter so I will try this next time. Also, is it safe for a horse to travel with the dually halter on or will I have to change it once he's loaded?
I have a question: What do you do if the trailer doesn't have a ramp? In all of his videos that I've watched, the trailers have ramps and it seems that stepping on the ramp is a crucial part. Any help or ti
its great, i will try it with my horse next time. I hope that this metothe works... Because i have try so much :D My Horse is not scary but she have no fun to go in the trailer. A very stolid horse :)
ive got a pony called nipper and he bites he was absued but thn i got sum1 out tht has been trained by monti roberts and she was brill sarah kriszer now my pony does join up and is learnin ow t respect me more he launched at one point t bite me but now all he does is try sneakly t nibble me yer i agree hes ace
@VeriSheri all horses are smart, no such thing as a dumb horse just dumb people that don't understand the horse :) he does this with lots olf different types of horses and ponies
The dually halter is a life saver, and this guy is by far the best horse whisperer.
it's just amazing. anyone who has worked with horses before can appreciate the greatness of this work.
Unbelievable, I love Monty, I learn so much from only his videos
monty u are amazing and i wish also that everyone else with horses could see how u do =) and treat horses how they need to be treated..ty sir!

truly a gift to the world
Good old approach & retreat and desensitisation. Good savvy :-) xxxx
Monty Roberts is amazing.

i always used the first technique to get a horse into a trailer, i never knew monty roberts used this
Monty Roberts is amazing!! he is my idol!!!!
I wish I would have known this trick years ago! Amazing!

It was like a yo-yo!
I love Monty Roberts =) he's my hero and I'm gonna be just like him.
I always wanted to meet Monty. XP

This is great. I love this video.
this is the first I've seen of a dualy halter...need to find out more about them.
absolutely. amazing. anyone know if he did join up with this horse before doing this?
@debbieloucks The Dually lets the horse decide where he is most comfortable and teaches himself the sweetspot. It is where horses follow Monty around the pen naturally with nothing on their head :) Watch Monty do a Join-Up(R) and Follow-Up and see where the horse follows him at his shoulder.
good monty
Are you using a Dually halter that gets small when she's stubborn and large again when she's positive? That is the technique. Have you tried that?
Get a dualy halter, along with "Join Up", I worked a Monty Roberts show when I was 12 and bought a bunch of training tapes along with a dualy halter, for one horse in particular, we usualy had to force him on by tieing a rope behind him and pulling him onto the triler, wich was so bad, and it scared him and it took 2 ouhers to load him that way.Now I can just let my horses go and they laod them selvs.
He's awesome!
This is something I Will try at home I think...
Cool Monty

Yes!
How about you try it with a Dually and Monty's methods? What if there was an emergency?
its great, i will try it with my horse next time. I hope that this metothe works... Because i have try so much :D My Horse is not scary but she have no fun to go in the trailer. A very stolid horse :)

Great!

OK, this is a smart horse. I'd like to see him do this with a dumb, rank horse.

So, so true. (:
@VeriSheri lol i know what you mean they say its so easy to teach their horses but in reality its not easy to teach our horses lol
0.0 woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
@VeriSheri all horses are smart, no such thing as a dumb horse just dumb people that don't understand the horse :) he does this with lots olf different types of horses and ponies
Monty Roberts is better than John Lyons in my opinion. Well then again, I do like John Lyons.. and Pat Parrelli.
Jealous. ):
