When you are riding on another horse behind a horse, always keep the space of an "imaginary horse" between the two of you.
If you are just walking behind a horse, run your hand along their behind to let them know you are there, and if is a bigger horse just make a circle around it.

When leading a horse should you stand direcly infront of it?
No, you should stand (usually) to the left side, at the horse's shoulder. When leading, you should stand about arms length away so that they won't step on you. (believe me, it's painful) Horses cannot see directly in front of them, so if you suddenly move away from their blind point, they could become startled and run away. The left side of the horse is usually where horses are handled from, so they are more used to being handled from here.
When walking behind a horse you should?
You shouldn't walk behind horses you're not familiar with, but if you have to, you should rub your hand across their body as you walk behind them (so they know you're there). If you don't want to walk close to them, you should walk really far behind them, so that if they do kick, you're too far away to reach.
