Monty Roberts Certified Instructors
United Kingdom
“My greatest accomplishment was learning to be gentle; without that I feel I would have achieved nothing.” ~ Monty Roberts
Kelly’s life has been filled with horses. She won BSJA Championships (show jumping) as a child rider and had great success as a Lady Jockey winning the Ladies European Championship in 1995. She made a competition comeback in 2009 when winning the Royal Windsor Pro/Am TREC championship on her horse, American Pie.
Kelly is the founder of ‘Intelligent Horsemanship’ which organises Monty’s demonstrations in the UK and runs her courses from Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Kelly gives demonstrations sharing Join-Up® methods to help ‘horses with problems’, travelling within the UK, also South Africa, Singapore, Scandinavia and Europe.
As well as appearing in numerous television shows, documentaries and magazines, Kelly is the author of several books including Perfect Manners, Perfect Partners and Perfect Confidence.
A former College Equine Lecturer and Stud Manager, Ian has over 22 years experience of stud work including foaling over 600 mares. He is often called in to deal with dystocia and young foal problems. He is successful at cardiac and respiratory resuscitation in the neonate and has had a 100% success rate with 18 foal adoptions on foster mares.
A kind and natural horseman, Ian has worked with Monty Roberts and is an expert in the correct and humane way of handling young foals as well as specialized horse care.
Caron spent almost 2 decades working in UK, Asia, Australia and the Middle East, initially as a corporate professional and more recently as an equine behaviourist and equine assisted personal development specialist. After 7 years in the Middle East (Dubai) working with remedial Thoroughbreds, Arabians and Warmbloods she has just relocated to the heart of Somerset in the UK.
She looks forward to sharing Monty’s philosophy in both Somerset and the Middle East where she will be travelling to during the winter seasons. She also plans to continue her work in the equine assisted personal development arena, a topic that Monty is passionate about and has helped to pioneer in the last few years. Caron has been a Monty Roberts Certified Instructor since 2007.
She recently spent a year in various African countries, learning about wildlife and conservation, and running horsemanship clinics including the first Monty Roberts Introductory courses on that continent. Her time in Africa deepened her desire to learn more about animal behaviour, and she will commence a Masters degree in that topic in September. Based in Edinburgh, she can offer individual sessions to help you with your horse, or group events/clinics at your facility.
She is a BHS Intermediate Instructor, Monty Roberts Certified Instructor, and Pony Club Instructor C examiner. Jo found Monty’s methods eye opening and fascinating, gaining a real insight into the workings of the horses brain and learning styles. She received her Monty Roberts Certification in 2010. She is currently studying under the experienced eye of Sylvia Loch; dressage expert, founder of the Classical Riding Club.
Jo is based between Kendal and Lancaster and will travel to areas within Lancashire, Cumbria and Yorkshire.
Since qualifying as a Certified Monty Roberts Instructor in 2010, she has taught Monty’s methods to students from all over the world, and loves seeing the impact that his teachings have on their horses and their own lives. As a Neuro Linguistic Programming Master Practitioner, Laira brings together her love of horses and her interest in Psychology, offering a high quality coaching context to each of the courses she runs.
These techniques completely transformed the relationship she had with her horse allowing her to compete Internationally in Endurance with him – so she became determined to undertake all the training to become an Instructor. Jo became an Instructor in early 2010. Jo has now returned to the UK and her main focus is running a Highland pony stud bringing up the youngsters using Monty’s techniques.
Jo is available for one to one sessions and to run the Join-Up®, Long Lining and the Monty Roberts Introductory Course of Horsemanship at your facilities.
In 2010 Lucy completed her internship at Flag Is Up Farms, where she was teaching and riding and gained her instructors certificate. She then returned back to Scotland and now runs courses in Monty’s concepts. Lucy specialises in competing/backing and training of show jumping and dressage horses out of Ladykirk House Stables.
Rekindling his passion for horses which he’d had since childhood, he worked with several Monty Roberts Instructors across the globe to gain as much experience as he could whilst completing the Introductory and Advance certificates. This culminated in Monty inviting him to undertake the instructors internship at Flag Is Up Farms.
He became a certified instructor in September 2012 and is now back in the UK and will be running courses in Monty’s concepts including Join-Up® and Long Lining clinics, Horsemanship 101 and the Introductory course.
He is also a member of the Monty Roberts Instructor Committee. Chris provides individual training sessions for horses at their owners yards in and around the Sussex / Kent areas.
For many years she worked with her, in addition to working at racing yards, where she ended up buying her own racehorse. At 17, Anna went out to America to assist with Monty’s Special Training Clinic. It was there she decided she wanted to become an Instructor and embarked upon the journey after finishing school.
Anna has worked worldwide in promoting Monty’s training methods of improving the treatment of horses. In 2013, Anna spent one and a half years at a Thoroughbred Stud in Germany, helping to improve the handling and starting process of racehorses. Since then, she has returned to the south of England and has become heavily involved with the management and handling of wild horses.
She currently splits her time between the UK and Hungary, where she and her partner, Instructor Szabolcs Pinter are currently setting up their own equi-tourism business. Anna is available for lessons and various courses in both countries.
In 2016 Rachel became a Certified Monty Roberts Instructor and will continue spreading Monty’s word by running courses in the UK and in the USA. Alongside this, Rachel will use her BA in Childhood Practices to run clinics for children and young people as a way to develop attachments, build trust, confidence and promote self-esteem.
Jo has acted as demonstration tour rider in the UK, Europe and Brazil and is a team member for Horse Sense and Healing Clinics in both the US and UK. Jo is passionate about showjumping and has recently started eventing. Jo hopes to hold courses in the near future.
