"Join Up" -

What is it? Over time i have found more and more people like to say or use the term "Join Up" as a problem "solver" for any issues they may have with their horses. But is the use of “Join Up” really going to address the “Problem”? Most often I think not..

Why?.. Many reasons. One being the way people achieve or apply their method of Join Up. Two, how Join Up relates to the problem, sometimes it dosnt at all. Three, whats peoples understanding of the term “join Up”, mislead often being the case. There are more to name but lets focus on these.

So first off, how is it you achieve “Join Up” with your horse?

Do you send him out on a circle and send him around until you see those signs then stop and wait for him to “Join Up’’? Or do you let him into the arena/area on his own then after a few mins go in and ask him to join you?
