Your Horse’s Quiet Place
Your horse’s head is like a needle on a gauge - it can signify your horse’s mental state. When his head comes up in any increment, the horse is tensing; when the head lowers, he is relaxing. When the horse is poised for flight, the head is all the way up, and when he is most relaxed, his nose is all the way to the ground.

Wholistic Joining vs. Round Penning
Missy Wryn’s WHolistic Joining method invokes a horse’s natural instinct to recognize you as their “herd leader” without using fear or exhaustion. “In a round pen session the horse is under pressure to keep moving as a method of controlling his feet to establish the trainer’s leadership in the herd” Missy says. “Most horse’s natural instinct is a fear response looking to the outside of the round pen for an escape. A rope may be used to toss at the horse or a whip to scare him into moving. Once the horse responds in the way the trainer wants whether that is turning in to the trainer when changing direction or stopping and looking at the trainer, the pressure is released letting the horse know that was the right answer.” ...
