Monty Roberts Certified Instructors
Austria
“My greatest accomplishment was learning to be gentle; without that I feel I would have achieved nothing.” ~ Monty Roberts
She went to a college for agriculture and nutritional science and was working in the chamber of agriculture in Austria for a few years before she finally decided to quit her job and to fulfill her dream to become a Monty Roberts Instructor.
Elisabeth started her education at Monty Roberts International Learning Center in 2010 and got her certificate in 2014. In this time, she learned from and worked with Instructors in Germany, England and America.
She is the first MR Instructor in Austria and is looking forward to running Monty Roberts Courses and spreading the word of nonviolent horse training in her country.
So in 2008 she went to Monty’s Farm for the first time participating the Introductory Course. Finally, after working with Instructors from Denmark, Netherlands, Italy, Hungary, Germany, USA and Finland she became a certified Monty Roberts Instructor in 2015. She is now teaching Monty’s Methods in Austria. On top of this, Martina also has a qualification as a Horse Assisted Educator® in coaching people supported by horses and is successfully working as Horse Agility Accredited Trainer®.
Her goal is, helping people and horses creating healthy partnerships on a trust-based communication.
A couple of years later, she researched Monty Roberts’ work, knowing there was a lot more to learn. In 2014 she went to Flag Is Up Farms to study at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center. After that she was determined to keep working to became an instructor, which she accomplished in May 2018.
Mimi has competed in Show Jumping and Eventing and has worked with untouched horses at a ranch in Uruguay. Now she is studying veterinary medicine in Europe.

Ask Monty: Does your horse ground tie?
I have no problem with the ground tie procedure. I simply would want no chance that the horse could step on a rein and injure his mouth. I feel sure you have taken measures to prevent this. Your discovery that relaxation extends itself to circumstances later in the day's experiences is impressive. It is so true that relaxation and cooperation build on the human observation that these circumstances are comfort inducing.
Ask Monty: How do you separate bonded horses?
I'm attempting to separate my gelding from stable mate. He has severe separation anxiety. What do you suggest? ... Don’t leave him alone! My best advice is to take him to a neighbor’s place where they have a safe holding facility and leave him near other horses to begin the process of separation.

Ask Monty: Do horses ever forget past abuse?
Do horses ever forget past abuse? I'd love some advice to help more safely handle my 11-year-old Quarter Horse gelding. He is a former ranch horse who we believe was handled roughly; he can go from being relaxed, to spooky and reactive. He typically seems to be more reactive when in an enclosed space, and feels "trapped".

Ask Monty: How do you discipline a horse without force?
Horses are flight animals and, in addition, they are classified as grazers. Horses typically eat grass. This grass grows from the ground and never runs away from them. Their food is provided by nature and is most often never touched by human hand before being eaten.
Ask Monty: Does your horse bite you?
I have a horse who is a retired lesson horse who I adopted from my trainer. He turns 26 this month, I started the Dually Halter with him and my question is, will I be able to change some behaviors he has done like biting me when I mount him since he has been allowed to do this his whole life?
