Roping Trail

Any tips or tricks for teaching trust for my horse in me?
He is scared of loud noises, and i can barely touch him. He is ex-Trail Riding horse and from his reactions has been flogged with a lead rope. I'm used to race horses but this guy seems to not want to be handled, have been playing quiet, gentle games but he still doesn't trust me.
JOIN UP
This Monty Roberts way to get a horse to trust you. The horse may be scared of you as a person, you can regain this by joining up.
You say he is scared of loud noises. Sometimes this is because of an accident. Try introducing small noises, like you squeaking or blowing a raspberry. When he is settled with this, he has stopped moving round and looking for the noise, introduce him with bigger noises.
Spend a LOT of time with him. Just in his paddock, talking to him, grooming him and loving him, this will encourage him to learn to love you.
I would just like to share a story with you.
7 Years ago, I brought a horse for hacking and treking, he was perfect when I rode him at his previous owners. When he arrived at my place, I let him into the paddock, (a huge mistake because the paddock was HUGE.) THe next day I went to catch him, and I couldn't. I spent the next 3 weeks doing this, going out and trying to catch him, finally I gave up and lured him into the next paddock(a lot smaller) with food. I searched on the internet how to bond with your horse. It came up with join-up. I went out to harry and joined up with him. After a while, he walked into me, oh the satisfaction, for the first time in 3 weeks, I could touch him, Then I found out he was head shy. Every day for the next 2 weeks I joined up with him, I reintroduced him to halters and even just patting him. I spent every spare minute with him, doing what I have told you to do. Within 3 weeks I had Harry following me everywhere. Now I can ride him everywhere. And he is no longer head shy.
