After I have passed the Monty Roberts Preliminary Certificate - what do I need to do to become a Recommended Associate?

View 'Becoming an RA Flowchart'

Dependant on your pass mark, you will have been given a certain time period in which to develop your skills before applying to become a Recommended Associate.

In order to apply to become an RA, you would need to complete:
The Untouched Horse and the Leading and Loading intermediate courses (if not already completed)

Put together a comprehensive portfolio of 10 case studies using the guidelines below:

• One must have 2 sessions on video

• All case studies to show at least one photograph

• All case studies to have contact details of the horse owners (some follow up will be made so please warn the horse owners)

• Please include headings such as problem or training required, history, goal(s), session details, outcomes, client feedback, follow up, etc.

As Intelligent Horsemanship is constantly evolving, we advise you keep up to date by attending the 5 Day Course as a helper and/or helping out at a Monty Roberts/Kelly Marks demo.


We advise you to ensure you have adequate insurance through a recognised broker while working with horses for your case studies.
