Almost every horseman will tell you that Respect is the most important thing you can get from your horse.

But" What is respect??

Everyone seems to understand this concept but can you define what respect means to a horse? This is a new topic of discussion in the Members Section. Seems like Members can give good examples of disrespectful horses but as of yet no one has yet to put a defination to the word.

According to Wikipedia, respect is an assumption of good faith and competence in another person or in the whole of oneself.

According to Dictionary.com, respect is an esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability.

Do these definitions relate to the same concept of respect that we want from a horse? Join us in the Members Section and let us know what you think.
