First of all, NEVER approach the horse from behind. The horse may kick you, thinking you are a predator sneaking up behind him. Second of all, to approach a horse stand tall, catch the horse's eye. To be extra safe, talk to the horse i.e(Hello Cookie, you look very cute right now)
Oh, and by the way, if you're nervous so is the horse.

What is the best way to approach your horse. Im pretty sure diagonaly?
The way you approach a horse will depend on where it is and if it's seen you coming or not. If it is in it's stall and hasn't seen you, make your presence know by talking softly to him until he looks at you and turns around, from there you can enter the stall and approach the horse typically from the front or shoulder areas. If the horse is out in a field or paddock it may or may not have seen your approach (always make noise to let the horse know you are there.) If the horse continues to graze or just stand there approach it from the shoulder area, you do not always have to come at the horse diagonally, but it can help keep you out of a horses blind spots.

How can you get a wild horse to trust a person?
This can take time, lots of it. If you are trying to approach a wild or feral horse in the wilderness don't do it, they are not there for you to play around with. If however you have adopted a mustang or other feral type of horse then you'll have to spend the necessary time with it. The horse will most likely be in a pen of sorts. To get it used to you, you should try to spend as much time as possible just sitting close to the enclosure to allow the horse to adjust to you. Once the horse accepts your presence you may star trying to approach the horse from outside the pen by extending your hand. Never offer food, this creates problems later on and can result in lost fingers. If the horse is calm enough after this you can enter the enclosure and stand or sit quietly until the horse accepts you being inside his 'safe zone'. Once this happens you may approach the horse and attempt to touch it like before.
How do you aproach a new horse?
Well, it all depends on the horse. Always approach the horse from the left or right side of the horse. Usually where the withers are. Slowly talk gently to the horse to let it know that you are there. Then, place our hand on the horse's back. Then you go from there, wether it's bridling and saddling or just simply grooming.
