Does anyone know any games that can build even more trust between an owner and a horse?

I wanted to build more trust between my horse and me and I was wondering if anyone knew any games to build a better bond??Does anyone know any games that can build even more trust between an owner and a horse?
Well not sure about games but there are lots of things you can work on, approach from the side nd not squaring up, 45 degree angle and don't look into the horses eyes. when they approach or let you let them smell your hand, then pat on the neck, rub the back and belly. have them give their feet up to you.. depends on how far you are but if you have RFD TV is good to watch, Chriss Cox,Ken McNabb and a few others you can google them be your best bet/
get a bucket of grain and play "tag" with you're horse--- but every once in a while stop and give it treats so it doesn't think your teasing it!

also lay on his/her back and just relax- just spend lots of time with it and talk to it a lot! good luck and best of wishes!Does anyone know any games that can build even more trust between an owner and a horse?
haha I wouldn't recommend treats, that builds just about anything but true trust. Grooming is the best trust builder, and just relax with your horse and spend time with him/her. Treats only make a horse nippy...its like giving kids candy, only give in moderation. The only diffrence is that when a horse begs for treats its more like bitting and nipping lol so have fun.Does anyone know any games that can build even more trust between an owner and a horse?
I don't know any games, but my horse loves to be brushed and fussed over. Sometimes I just get on him in the arena and ride him around with no saddle or bridle. He really enjoys that.



I'm also teaching him tricks. He is learning to bow and he 'smiles' on command. Just spending time with them that doesn't involve a serious training session, they really love that.

I agree with Carly. Parelli Natural Horsemanship has these "Seven Games" to play with your horse, and my horses love it!! They've really responded well and I've learned that if YOU have fun with it, THEY will have fun with it.
the parelli 7 games! i don't know them my heart, but i'm sure you can find them on their website.

work in a round pen like join up are also really great.
