You should be extremely careful when behind a horse - you should NEVER approach a horse from behind approach from the front so the horse is aware of you.
ANSWER:
Well, I do agree wth the answer above, but it does not answer your question.
No, it is not a great idea to be silenty behind a horse. I mean, don't go full out and start screamin' like a maniac, but sing quietly to them or praise them to tell they your there.
I used to believe in the "silent treatment", until I was walking behind my horse and a saddle cover blew into the aisle way, and spooked him(freaked him out). It was an EXTREMELY close call, and took a while to calm him down.
Moral of the story: If they don't know your there and something scary happens, they don't know they are going to crush you. To them, you are a preditor.:)

You shouldn't be behind the horse, if at all possible. Otherwise, if you have to go directly behind a horse and there is no other option, you should always let the horse know your there. Run your hand along his/her back and rump, speaking softly as not to startle her but loud enough that she can hear it. If you are 6ft behind a horse, the horse could easily still kick you if it is big enough or it could back up to make a hit. If you be extremely quiet, it WILL spook the horse; the horse can hear MUCH better than you can and WILL hear you, regardless of how quiet you are being.

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.
When walking behind a horse should you be extremely quiet so you don't spook the horse?
You should never walk behind a horse really. But if you need to, talk to it as you approach it so it doesn't spook. Make sure the horse knows you are there. When it has realised that you are there (no guarantee it won't kick or spook when you do this) gently put your hand on his back end and keep it there as you walk round. Most horses won't spook or kick only bad tempered, frightened or young would.

Talk softly to the horse so it knows where you are, and stand 6 feet behind them. Its never good to be quiet and "sneak" around your horse. that's predatory behavior and will scare your horse.

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.

# # # That is definetly NOT the right thing to do. Correct, you should not make any sudden movements or noises, however when you want to go behind a horse do the following: 1. place your hand on the horses back and slide it all the way down to your horses rump while talking reasuringly to your horse the whole time so he knows where you are. 2. when you get to your horses backside and you wish to go aound it, go as CCLOSE to your horse as possible, that way, if he kicks he doesnt have all the power behind his leg and you may get a bruise, but if you were 6ft away from your horse (how would you even get that far away in a stall anyway?) you'd be surprised at how far back your horse can move and kick, and by being so faraway your allowing your horse to get all the power out of his back legs and that is when you will get serious injuries. Warning: You should not attempt to go around the back of your horse if... he is green you have never attempted it before (in this case, ask someone more experienced) you are not comfortable or do not know the horse well ____________________________________________________________________ It totally depends on the horse. My horse is very well trained and I can walk behind her as close or as far away as I want without worrying. If you are approaching a new horse though, I would say the safest thing for you to do is too first let the horse see you, then walk around him, a nice distance, but as soon as you are on his other side, let him see you once again...

When walking behind a horse you should do what be extremely quiet so you don't spook the horse or stand 6 feet behind the horse or talk softly to the horse so the horse knows where?
here is the simple answer: you should run your hand along the horse until u reach the rump, then keep your hand on the rump as u move around the horse. PS horses love being spoken to :) Answer: but to add to that accurate answer, when you move 'quickly' around to the other side when changing hooves, you should do it more swiftly, not jerkily to make sure that you don't scare the horse. remember~horses are narural prey in the wild and they are very alert and easily spooked. even if they don't mean to hurt you in person, they may accidentally thinking it was something harmful. don't forget to talk in a confident soothing voice at all time though Answer: You do not want to be super quiet because if they don't know you are behind them you could get kicked. First of all you want to let the horse know you are there. Talk softly to your horse and stroke its back. If you are new with horses I would recommend you to stand about six feet away. This will keep both you and your horse safe! Answer: When walking behind a horse it is safe to NEVER be extremely quiet around a horse's behind, Horses have long legs that can kick at whatever target they have in mind (including humans), and even making the slightest noise behind them with the horse being unaware of you they will most likely become greatly frightened, and maybe for the worst you might become that horses target. If you are a newcomer to horses the best thing to do is stand about six feet away from the horse and just to examine what the horse does before approaching her/him from the behind. Mke sure the horse is ALWAYS aware where you are. When walking around the hind quarters a safe thing to do is to let you horse know where you are going. But how? the greatest thing to do when walking around the hind quarters would be to slowly walk, soflty talk to horse and to just give a simple pat on the bottom to let her/him know where you are. When patting them on the bottom it would be nice to softly talk to the horse, and the horse will be bound to trust you more and this could help build you and your horse's relationship together Horses do not enjoy being startled. If you need to go directly behind a horse that you do not know, you should: 1. Not do it.? You Should Never Work Behind a horse anyway walk in front! If you are planning on ignoring that advice, soft talking or huffing like a foal is a good idea. When you get close to the horse, touch the butt and pet it. Watch the ears. If they go back and down, refer to item 1. (if the ears are down and you still plan on going back there, call emt's BEFORE doing so). If the ears are up, it is probably safe. Foals with their mothers should not be considered safe to go behind. If you get between mum and baby, you might be surprised how fast you get behind that horse, and in trouble Never walk 6 feet away from a horse even if you are a newcomer I'm sorry but you should be by close to the horse instead of six feet away they have long legs!! Alway touch and walk as close as the horse as possible touching the horse. rub rub rub the horse with your hands. They can't kick you if your close to them If you have never been kicked by a horse that you were right next to, you have not been around many horses. You will also find most horses legs are less then 6 feet long. Steady noise and gentle touching are the keys When you go around the back of a horse you should have you r hand on it's back, while talking softly and firmly I Have Grow Up around horses, there are 2 ways two do it. FIRST WAY: Start at the croup and pat the horse on the top of the hindquarters and walk slowly while touching the horses hindquarters, push your body into the horses but do not aply so much pressure get your body close enuf to the horses hindquarters that you are touching the horse with the side of your rib. SECCOND WAY: would be to call the horses name softly but loud enuf for the horse to hear you good, walk 6-7 feet away for an appaloosa sized horse, for a draft horse be shure to walk 12 feet away or use the 1st technique. When walking behind a horse you must put your hand on its rump and stay very close to its hindquarters. I see that you got this question off of Howrse.com so the answer to that would be the one about talking softly. Also if the horse has a kicking problem,then you probally should just stay away from the hindquarters. Be carful if you decide to go around the fron of the horse and under the lead line. Cross ties are somewhat better than the leadline. you should never really walk behind a horse, but if you are more than 6 feet away, then it is okay, as long as you are quiet and not making sudden movements.
