The work is based on the evaluation of two extensive review articles on the human-horse relationship. For a safe and mutual cooperation, the human must establish a positive relationship with the horse based on trust and understanding through various methods of communication. Problems may arise in the relationship that indicates problems in interspecies communication. These show up in the horse as mistrust and fear during work, which can lead to accidents or aggressive reactions from the horse. The relationship between humans and horses is affected by all past and present interactions, so it is important not to resort to aggressive punishment. This instills fear of the human in the horse, causing it to avoid or react defensively to the human. A horse can learn to use human gestures, so verbal communication with an appropriate tone of voice, eye contact and a calm approach is important. Negative emotions and an increased heart rate from a human near a horse due to an anticipated negative event instill fear in the horse and increase its heart rate. The above confirms the rumors that humans transfer their fears to horses. With the help of assessment methods and proper recognition of the horse's personality, the relationship between man and horse is strengthened and the horse's aggressive and negative reactions are reduced. Behavioral tests help to discover hidden problems in the horse's behavior towards humans. The bond established ensures the well-being of both and creates a balance in the relationship that helps reduce problems in the human-horse relationship.
