    Hello, Dancer! I enjoyed watching your video clips! I'm not exactly sure what a "join up" is, but it was fun to watch you moving beautifully! I agree completely with what everyone has said - you were adopted by someone who knows how to help you be your best, and now it is time to have all sorts of fun, learn new skills, and have a terrific life! Happy, happy Pet of the Day to you!

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Hi Cassiesmom : )

    Join up is achieved when you apply pressure to the horse, in the video my husband chases Dancer away, and after watching for certain cues that the horse responds to your pressure and recognizes you as a leader or "lead mare." When you remove the pressure, by not chasing the horse and walking away, you create a tether effect, and the horse will follow you like it has an invisible lead line on. That moment is called Join Up!

    This is really important when training a horse, because a joined up horse sees you as a leader that offers direction and security. So when you go to put a saddle on them etc, they trust that you aren't trying to hurt them.

    It's a very gentle method, and in this manner, my hubby and I manage to saddle break horses in an afternoon usually.
