Doing Join-up with 4y/o gelding

This is Spirit, the 4y/o very-Arabian-looking Stock horse gelding. Jo McVilly (his owner and very competent horse-woman) is doing join-up with him, overall it took around ten minutes to complete the join-up.

Remember, when attempting join-up: patience and persistence are vital on your part; you must pay very close attention to the horse's body language so that you are able to recognize the signs of your horse relaxing and submitting; do not feel like you must constantly "chase" your horse, persistent pressure and quick corrections (when your horse tries to come in or slows down) are all that are needed.

I do not recommend attempting this without having been taught it first by an instructor or competent horse-person who has performed join-up many times before.
