If you get up fairly close you can't get kicked only shoved. Mistake folks make is standing where they believe they're just out of range but anything that weighs 1200lbs and can scratch behind it's ear with a rear hoof has fairly good aim. As long as the horse knows you are there you shouldn't have to stand away from him. Put your hand on his back as you walk around him...to the back especially so he knows where you are.

Sad experience has taught he how to properly estimate the lenght of a horses kick.^lllThe person who said that did not answer your question. That person simply stated something that happened to him. The answer to your question is yes. You should stand 6 feet behind a horse, if you absoloutely HAVE to stand behind them. Otherwise, avoid walking/standing behind a horse. Also, you should talk quietly to the horse while walking/standing behind a horse to let him/her know your there, otherwise, it may kick for some reason, say a fly was bugging it, and you would get kicked.I hope this helped.-Winnie7573
Should you stand at least six feet behind a horse when walking behind it?
Not necessarily, as long as you put your hand on the horse while walking around it, the horse knows your there and you do not startle it, you should be okay. If the horse is known to kick at people, then you would be better walking in front than behind.AnswerIf you cannot walk, for some reason) in front of the horse then, yes it is better to walk at least six feet behind the horse. It usually puts you out of kicking distance.
