Come and discover how and why the qualities of horses teach us how to lower stress and build trust at The Movement 2019 to be held at Flag Is Up Farms, in Solvang, California, April 29-30, 2019.
The Movement symposium launched in 2018 with the vision to unite outstanding speakers and live demonstrations with horses. Founded on Monty Roberts’ belief that non-violent forms of communication are essential to building trust and achieving outstanding results, the mission of The Movement is to help people discover the unique power of horses to teach better ways to interact across all aspects of life.
The Movement Participants Tell Their Stories
Two hundred participants from around the world journeyed to Solvang, CA for The Movement 2918 and agreed that the symposium was a life-changing experience. The 2018 presentations were recorded for historical relevance and can be found here.
Monty’s message and his vision is simple, pure, and right. Count me as one who will be back, and who will bring others. Who knows, maybe I’ll even adopt a horse!
This movement is one I can get behind. Thank you so much for putting this together.”
Luana Jackman Waimey The Movement Participant

Whether a horse expert or horse lover, the goal of the take-home is to affect lives in a positive way through studying the qualities of the horse.
The Movement 2019 – An Event to Learn, Lead and Live Better
“We are describing The Movement as an event to learn, lead and live better,” said Debbie Roberts Loucks who is managing the event.
Debbie continues, “A movement started in the horse industry when horse owners began to have a clearer vision of how horses affected humans in positive way. Inspired by how interchangeable the lessons from herd behavior were, I’ve watched trainers, teachers, mothers and managers become better communicators, leaders and influencers for good. This year’s presenters are each amazing in their industries and they all have a vision of a better world, inspired by incorporating horses in their own story. They come to share that vision and build on it with participants who will take home a life-changing plan. Leaders may inspire, but only when people choose to act does a vision become a movement.”
Enjoy Discussions with Like-Minded People
This unique event helps you better understand problem solving using violence-free training methods. People will come and spend time with like-minded people absorbing what non-violent communication can be and enjoy discussions with Monty and students from around the world.
At the workshop, Monty and his Certified Instructors will work with a range of young and remedial horses. Participants will gain first-hand knowledge during demonstrations, lectures, and discussions. This event is for the novice rider, the non-rider, as well as the advanced student who wants to observe advanced horsemanship at work. There will be demonstrations on how to communicate with horses in their natural language in various situations.
