August 27, 2008 - Ask Monty Question


Question
Would you do Join-Up® with every horse?

Monty's Answer
No. I do Join-Up with almost every horse, but there are times when I work with horses without doing Join-Up. I have never observed Join-Up hurt a horse or do it harm in any way. It is my opinion that Join-Up is effective on nearly 99 percent of the horses I deal with. An orphan is an exception; they generally do not know their own language and Join-Up is difficult and not very effective. I do not recommend Join-Up with an aggressive stallion or horses that are in a state of extreme nervousness, like a recently weaned mare or foal. If I am required to load a horse to go to the veterinarian and it is lame, then I would not require it to do Join-Up. I would like to conclude this answer that I use Join-Up on virtually every horse I work with, but not 100 percent.
