Everone responds to gentleness, humans and animals alike. No one wants to be treated harshly or witness agression towards others, do they? Gentleness creates that warm fuzzy feeling that you get when you feel important, like you're worth something. 
Natural Horsemanship teaches gentleness to both horse and rider. Instead of forcing the animal to submit to your will, natural horsemanship teaches you how to ecourage the horse to achieve a goal not because they must obey, but because they want to do as you ask. There is a strong relationship, a bond, formed between horse and trainer that evokes feelings of pride and understanding. The horse learns from your kindness, and it is because of you that the horse knows how to preform certain tasks. When you're astride that horse after its training is complete, you can feel accomplished and be proud to know you were the one to train that horse.
