Do not use your horn directly behind a horse rider or you will spook the horse. A spooked horse can be dangerous to the rider.
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.

Why should you not use your horn directly behind a bicyclist or a horse traveling on the side of a roadway?
You should abstain from using your horn at alland anywhere near a horse and rider! The reason is that you will upset the horse, potentially causing injury not not just the horse, but the rider as well. You may even kill a horse too if it has to be put down from a broken leg which may not be able to be fixed.The other reason, in direct answer to the question, that you should never honk your horn behind a horse--even if you think it's just "for the fun of it" is that the horse could upset, turn right in front of you and run into your vehicle, or vice versa, causing damage to your vehicle and serious injury to both horse and rider.
How do you approach a horse whose back is towards you?
Speak to the horse gently and try clicking your tongue. Try not to stand direclty behind it as horses have a blind spot directly in front and behind them.
Witch would you most likeley do if you are standing behind a horse talk softly or stand six feet behind it?
Well, first I WOULDN'T stand behind the horse. Horses can not see directly behind themselves, and might kick. Talking softly is good, as you pass behind the horse, closely, like with your hand on their hip as you walk past. If you stand 6 feet behind, you might just about be at full reach if they kicked.
Can horses see directly behind them?
No. Directly behind them is a blind point in which horses can not see. This is why you should never approach a horse from behind, because it will not see you and it might think you are a predetor, hence you might get kicked. If ever you need to go around a horse, talk to him and run your hand over his romp so he knows you are there. It is still better however, to go around a horse via the front.Horses look through eyes on the side of their heads.
'Should you talk softly to the horse when you are walking behind it?
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.

Why do horses only kick the people that are behind them that are trying to get their babies?
Because horses' eyes are on the sides of their head, they have great peripheral vision, but unfortunately cannot see directly in front of them or directly behind them. Therefore, when a person approaches a horse from behind, the horse cannot see them coming. If that person goes after the horses' foal, it's natural defense as a prey animal is going to be to defend itself. The best way for a horse to defend its rear is to buck out (or kick) at whatever is behind it. If you wish to approach a horse, *ALWAYS* make yourself known to the animal by either talking to it or keeping in close contact with the horse so that it will know where you are.
What sould you do when walking in back of a horse?
When you walk behind the animal, be sure to keep a hand on them at all times, talk to them, and stay right behind the end of the horse. Horses cannot see directly behind them, and any sudden movement or sound could spook them. If you don't feel comfortable being so close to the end of the horse, try walking 6 to 7 feet away from the back end of the horse.
When leading a horse should you walk directly in front of it to show where you are going?
No, you should walk next to the horse's shoulder. If you lead the horse from directly in front of it, and something spooks the horse from behind it, its natural instinct would be to run away from whatever spooked it, which, in this case, would be forward. If you are in front of the horse, you would probably get crushed by it. However, if you are on the side, the horse won't be able to hurt you, and you will be able to regain control faster.
