Across the two days the team will observe and work with horses to demonstrate the course elements. They will learn the language of horses we call Equus and will be given the opportunity to communicate with a horse, and experience the moment of Join Up which will reinforce the important elements of the course.

	Joining Up with a horse

What Is Join Up?

Join Up is the moment in which a person successfully communicates with a horse and causes the horse to trust the person enough to be its leader. The horse demonstrates this by walking up to the participant, placing its nose on their shoulder and then following them around the round pen. The moment is highly emotional and reinforces the importance of trust in any working relationship.
