Well, this would depend on the horse, and the skill of the person walking behind it. You do not want to startle the horse by speaking loudly or making a sudden rapid movement, but even the presence of a person directly behind them can cause some horses to spook and jump/bolt or kick. It is best to get the horses attention long before approaching their behind, and never approach directly from the back, one needs to be off to the side near the shoulder. If one MUST walk behind a horse, it is best to start at the shoulder place your hand on the horse, keep your body next to his and walk all the way around while touching the horse in a very close manner.

What should you do when you walk be hide a horse?
When walking behind a horse, there are two things you can do- walk 5-6 feet behind him or walk directly behind him. The first way is the safest and you should do it around an unfamiliar horse. With a horse you know well that you trust, you can walk directly behind him. This way, even if he did decide to kick he wouldn't have enough room to get enough momentum to do much damage. either way you walk around the horse, you should talk softly so the horse knows where you are and do not walk quickly, as this will most likely spook the horse. If you are walking directly behind them, keep a hand on their butt to let them know that you're there.
When walking behind a horse what do you do?
When going behind a horse, you should: 1. Either stay six feet behind the horse, or be right behind it (only if you know it is a good horse) 2. Talk to the horse softly so it knows you are behind it The reason to stay right behind the horse is so that if the horse kicks you, it won't be able to kick very good, because you would be so close. Tip: Don't touch a horse's flank, that's where most horses are ticklish.

If your walking behind a horse you should?
Don't walk behind a horse. You could get kicked. A horse can't see behind them so if you have to get to the other side walk to the front and around. If your working near the back part, make sure you let the horse knows you're there. Put your hand on his and talk softly to him. If you see someone get kicked, the horse probably was spooked, but if you get kicked, don't worry, I'm sure they didn't do it purpose. :)
When walking behind a horse should you talk softly stand very close to the hindquarters be extremely quiet so you do not spook the horse or stay six feet behind it?
With a familiar and calm horse, it is OK to calmly (but not timidly) go behind while staying close and keeping a hand on top of his hindquarters. With an unfamiliar horse, it is a good idea to stay out of the "kicking radius", about 6 feet away.
