The NH Method Of "Follow Up"
25 September 2013
But its something that we are either dedicated to do and discover or something we just keep in our minds but continue on the path we started in the way we where taught and lead to believe. Either way, its a choice worth thinking about, thats all i hope to get across.
As i said before in the “Join Up” post, but with different wording, “Its not about what you can do with your horse, but how you came to do it together?”.
So its the same principle to my quote in the “Join Up” topic, just different wording.
Heres another to leave you on from my quotations.. “You decide for your horse. So decide wisely. ” “Hooking On”
So what is “Follow Up”? Its a continuation of “Join Up” where the horse is connected to you and follows as you take lead on where to go. This term like term join up are usually used in liberty, but i believe they are similar on-line. So following up on the “Join Up” topic, we have “Follow Up’’. How do we achieve this?
Again this can depend on how we have applied a method to obtain join up. (See Join Up Topic) So lets assume we have used the pressure and release method in achieving join up. Now our horse has come over to us and if we walk away he follows. I touch very briefly in the Join Up topic on why. So why may he follow? Let me first ask a few questions....

your horses isn't going to be willing or content to make a change for you." - AP
