"Join Up" is a technique that was made popular by Monty Roberts, the man known as The Horse Whisperer. It's a method that Monty uses to get the horse to trust him and follow him around the ring (hence the term join up)It has become a very popular technique among horse owners and trainers, especially those who prefer "Natural Horsemanship" training methods.

What Monty looks for as the horse goes around the circular pen or corral is:

The inside ear pointed towards Monty...

A smaller circle meaning that the horse wants to be closer to him...

The horse licking and chewing with his mouth...

And finally he is looking for the horse to lower his head right to the ground while he is still going round, so that the horse's nose is nearly touching the ground.

Once all of these signs have happened, Monty turns away from the horse with his eyes lowered, so that the horse knows it is safe to come to the middle and join up with Monty. It is a wonderful process and should be used all over the world with every horse
