How do you act around a horse? Be calm: a horse can sense if you are calm, scared or nervous, so if you were nervous the horse would be too, so make sure that you are calm. First meeting: hold out your hand so that the horse can sniff it, and if it seems to trust you it is safe to pat it. Make sure it knows where you are: the horse must know where you are at all times. If you walk around behind it, for example, make sure you have your hand resting on its back so that the horse knows where you are. Otherwise it might kick you. Pat firmly: make sure you pat the horse firmly, not too hard as to push it but not so soft as to tickle it. A horse loves a scratch behind the ears and on the neck. On a horse you have just met, try not to pat it's head. And make sure you never pat just above his back legs - that spot is very ticklish! Talking: talk calmly and sensibly, and don't shout around them. When you want to talk to it, make sure you let the horse know you are friendly, and you aren't angry or upset with it - talk to the horse in a friendly calm voice. A few tips: if you are nervous, make sure you have someone that knows about horses, so you can ask them questions and advice. If you don't think the horse is going to be friendly, don't chance it. Stand back and ask someone to help. Hope the advice helped!
