The Horse Knows You

After going with Erika a few times, I've realized it's beneficial to have the owner there with you.  The horse knows abd trusts it's owner.   Th horse is much more cooperative and well-behaved having someone they can trust there.  How do you feel having someone you don't know poke at you when you don't even know what they're doing? I know I would be scared and try to get away! Horses are very intelligent.
