This teaches the horse to respond to a request, rather than react to a stimulus. Most people never ask the horse what he thinks, because they're afraid he'll give the wrong answer. Most people can gentle a horse but few earn his trust. In the horse's mind, gentleness is the horse not hurting us, trust is not hurting the horse. Therefore, trust allows the horse to step out of his comfort zone and expand his knowledge and experience.
Respect is to consider worthy of high regard and has nothing to do with fear or intimidation.
Though closely intertwined, it differs from trust in that it helps define the relationship within the herd. Trust gives the horse confidence to act, respect motivates him to. Communication, as defined by Webster, is a process by which information is exchanged through a common system of symbols, signs or behavior. It is incumbent upon us to learn his language, and not expect him to learn ours. Many people believe the horse moves away from pressure.
