» Alisha - Re: What does "Join up" mean to you? In response to message posted by caballus:I have watched novices to professionals use the round pen to create a connection with horses.An interesting aspect of hook up is that under the guidance of an accomplished horseperson, even the novice is successful. Another interesting thing is what it reveals about the horse and the human as individuals. Personality and horse-anality problems become evident quite quickly. As an example, a horse that may have been considered passive is suddenly resentful. A human that is timid will be pushed by the horse. Myself, I have accomplished join up using a stick with a plastic bag on the end, a soft rope and nothing more than my body language. Understanding how horses relate to each other and how we, as predators, appear to them is paramount to success. Overall, I consider this technique to be the most valuable tool to initiate a relationship with a horse regardless of age, gender or breed. Hope that helps. -- posted by Alisha » luana61 - moved horse have problem hi, i have moved my horse and now she has refused to listen to me..this is about the third time i have moved her since i have had her.i had no problems the other times..the last place i had her she had a stall and a small run now she has a big pasture and two other horses. when i go to see her she will not come to me..when i do catch her and go into the indoor area she will not listen to her cues when i ground work and she dose not want to leave the other horses.. what can i do for her to listen to me ? i do not want to stress her out or cause her to pick up a bad habit..how can i get her to listen and let me ride her without her wanting to return to the other horses?i know horses are herd bound..please advise me..thank you very munch..luana61-- posted by luana61
