*She leads him to his stall and gives him a full water bucket.* I believe that all humans are trusted when join-up is used. The new human who plays a large role in their life just need to gain their trust first. Join-up is all about trust. *The 23-yr-old leans on Eldora's door.* The horse trusts you when you put the saddle on. I know people who start horses they don't know, have never handled before. The horse has never actually even seen humans before. And in around half an hour, they're sitting on the horses back and riding around. Basically what I'm saying is you don't need to get the horse used to anything. Fire was good today, I felt he trusted me enough for me to swing my leg over. There are some horses you need to actually have an assistant to lead the horse around with the rider laying over their back to get them used to it, but by the end of the session, you should have the horse trotting confidently around the pen. With Eldora, what we could do, is I do the basic Join-up, then you come in and be the rider. How does that sound? *Strokes the bay filly's face.*

(OOC-Nope, I read Monty Roberts' book, 'The Man Who Listens To Horses'. I'm a big fan of his, I've got two books and two videos and I went to a demonstration when he was in Australia.)
