Questions then:
What other things are you doing to earn his respect?
How respectful is he when you are feeding him (does he paw, push, etc.)?
What is he being fed?
Has he ever spent time alone tied to a post for any amount of time?
How is he for the farrier and the vet?

Respect goes beyond riding and round penning. In what other ways are you getting his respect?

What is his history? How did you get him, what breed, age, etc. is he? Tell us more please.

I was the daughter who wouldn't lift a finger in the house but cycled madly off in the pouring rain to spend all morning mucking out a stable.
