AMAZING !!!
"This course was an epic adventure ! I learned so so much, met the best people and had so much fun. A life changing, unbelievable experience !"
Now available in a 5 day course, Gentling Wild Horses provides participants the opportunity to use Monty's non-violent methods with previously unhandled horses. Open to students of all levels of equine experience, participants will observe and have hands-on lessons according to their levels of skill and prior experience. Participants work in Monty Roberts’ patented, unique facility (the IFA Untouched Gentling Pen) which is designed for the humane treatment of wild horses, and the safety of horse and handler.
Participants have an opportunity to experience a horse’s first touch by human hand and will assist the horses going through the gentling process - haltered, led, groomed, desensitized, and have their feet picked up. It is a fantastic way for those interested in equine psychology to learn more about the nature of the horse (and people too).
Additionally, the course offers trainers, horse owners and volunteers in the equine industry (particularly those dealing with difficult horses) the opportunity to learn a new approach in dealing with young, challenging and unstarted horses.

"Thanks!"
"Helpful staff and looking forward to the class!"
"The clinic was incredible. Simon did a fantastic job facilitating the clinic and we made very good progress with the Mustangs. Ivette was great at filming the events as well. Monty’s talk at the end of the clinic was really interesting and kept everyone engaged. I can’t wait for the next “Gentling” clinic I can take."
"This question is premature as I have not received any tools or information from this place."
"Got to see wild horses becoming friendly horses, got to work on them from the beginning without violence with just light touch and soft handling, no to mention we learned that believe it or not sometimes just knowing how to breath properly and calm while approaching a wild horse will do wonders with the horse. It is all about learning the language of the horse and understanding what they fear and what we fear, following great non violent Technics, safety methods and practicing, My wife and I spent two weeks learning with Monty and his instructors and not only we learned how to start wild horses but how they communicate, we also learned how to be calmer, control emotions and to be a better person to deal with horses and people. This learning experience was so fun that it felt like a vacation! Highly Recommend it."
