The aim of the thesis is to present and process the way of developing positive interaction between horse and rider. Interactions between horse and rider that lead to a positive relationship are realized through a series of human actions towards the horse and vice versa. Some of these procedures are feeding, grooming, riding and treatment. In order to understand horses and see the world from their perspective, it is necessary to know the basic needs of animals, their senses and the way of communication in the herd. The need for food, water, movement and socialization must be fulfilled in order to have a happy and satisfied horse, these are just the basic needs of a horse. The interaction between horse and rider is influenced by many factors; rider's seat, training method, appropriate equipment and knowledge of the basic characteristics of horse ethology. The connection between a man and a horse is the embodiment of the greatest connection between a man and an animal, while the ultimate goal of riding is to achieve union with the horse, that is, some kind of fluidity with his body. With proper work and training, horses show a desire and willingness to socialize with people, coercion in working with a horse is the worst for both partners. The rider around the horse should be calm, reliable and have the qualities of a leader, while the horse should be willing to work, brave and have confidence in his rider. Acquiring all of the above requires time, perseverance and a desire for education and advancement. Constant proper work and time dedicated to the horse will lead to a high-quality and successful creation and maintenance of a positive relationship between horse and rider.
