Walk on the left side of the horse with a halter and a leadrope on it. Put you right hand on the leadrope about a foot from its face and hold the end with you left hand so the horse doesn't trip. Walk at a steady pace and stay up by its head. If the horse pulls or spooks, stop it, talk to it, and then continue walking.
Answer
Lunge your horse at a walk in a small circle through the gate, then have the horse turn his hindquarters and wait for you to come through the gate after him. Then after closing the opening lead the horse away from the pasture.

Should a horse stall be cleaned daily?
At a very minimum, a horse's stall should be cleaned daily. Preferably, a stall should be cleaned twice a day. Leaving urine and feces in a stall for an extended period of time can lead to many health problems for your horse. Thrush, a fungi, can develop in your horses feet due to the bacteria and moisture left by urine and feces. This can lead to lameness and extreme cases severe permanent hoof problems. Respiratory issues are also caused by the ammonia in urine. Skin problems, such as scratches and other bacterial infections, can develop on the lower leg of a horse. Overall, cleaning a horse's stall will make him happier and healthier, imagine standing in your own urine and feces all day--not fun!
How do you approach and lead a horse safely from a stall corral or field?
You should always stand to the left side of a horse with your hip even with it's shoulder and your right arm close to the lead shank, 'snaking' the rope in front of you and holding it with your left hand. This will ensure that if the horse rears up you will not be in danger of being struck. IF the horse bolts forward it will not run over you and you can always pull it's head around to the left (staying at his/her shoulder) to circle it and calm it down. NEVER lead a horse with it following you!!

You can walk your horse on the pavement, it will not hurt it. Even if your horse does not wear shoes they can be safely walked on pavement.
