Question: Why does your horse follow you around?

What is Join-Up®? I’d love for my horses to follow me around the paddock.

Monty’s Answer:

Join-Up® is that moment in time when the horse chooses to be with you instead of away from you. While Join-Up® is also the title for the full body of work that I do this term comes from that very moment when the handler through communication gains sufficient respect so that the animal prefers to be in their presence rather than away from them.

Sincerely,
