It's basically approach and retreat - when Andi looked at Josh, Josh retreated. This is so he did not pose a threat to Andi. Then Josh went up and petted Andi and retreated again - he withdrew the pressure. That first day, Josh wanted to get an understanding of Andi's personality to see the type of horse he was dealing with. And with the flag, I told Josh Andi was afraid of big movements, and he wanted to see what Andi could handle. Of course, I had already worked Andi with the flag in the past, so he was used to it. Have you watched the NH trainers on RFD-TV? It's simular, but Josh does change his demeanor depending on the horse.
