December 31, 2015 Solvang, California: January 9, 2016 will kick off the celebrations on Flag Is Up Farms in Solvang, California. Called The Night of Inspiration, Monty will demonstrate his signature Join-Up®, starting a horse to his first saddle and rider in about 30 minutes. His history of starting horses since he was a young person inspires people to develop their skills in building trust and communication between horse and human.

Flag Is Up Farms is the internationally renowned starting point for some of the world’s most successful performance horses and highest earning racehorses. It is also the home of the Monty Roberts International Learning Center and equine celebrity Shy Boy.

Monty and Pat Roberts, with their team of exceptional trainers have used force-free, Join-Up® training methods to start horses on their way to happy, healthy, and successful careers in a variety of disciplines and applications.

Remedial horses have found an environment among the team at Flag Is Up Farms that fosters a safe haven to mend troubling behaviors and get back on track for success.

Flag Is Up Farms’ notoriety as home to “The Man Who Listens to Horses,” Monty Roberts, has also created a demand to open the farm to the public.

Visitors are welcome from 9am to 5pm daily, with no fee or reservation required.
The farm and hacienda facilities which have been featured in Town & Country Magazine are also host to numerous corporate events throughout the year, offering an enriching and educational experience for your team.

Monty and Pat Roberts welcome you to learn more about the philosophies of Join-Up, violence free training and its many applications among the majestic landscape at Flag Is Up Farms. https://www.montyroberts.com/ab_about_monty/flag__intro/
