Should i Lead a horse by walking in front or beside?

It is rarely a good idea to lead a horse by walking in front of him (sometimes it is necessary if you are walking through a very narrow passageway). Ideally, you should walk by his left (near side) shoulder. That is a much safer position to be in, and it allows you to communicate better with your horse.

No, you should lead a horse either at his head or his throat. The horse knows where youa re going judged on where you are facing. It is dangerous to walk in front of a horse, because if they spooked, they could run right over you.

How do you walk a horse?

Well, if your horse is trained, you should be able to just squeeze with your lower leg, and your horse should go. If you are referring to walking a horse in hand, then you should stand by the horses should with the lead rope in your hand. Make sure that the lead is NOT wrapped around your hand, because if your horse spooks, it could drag you with it. Move your hand forward, pulling the lead rope forward as well. When the horse begins to walk, lessen the pressure on the lead so that you are barely pushing it forward any more. Making sure that you are keeping pace with your horse. If the horse is well trained, it may not move if you are too far in front of behind the shoulder. Always be careful that you are not standing in front of the horse as well. If you stand directly in front of the horse and it spooks it could very well run you over.


What is a horse lead?

A horse lead is either the lead rope or, if you are talking about the gait, such as: trot, canter, walk, lope, gallop etc. the lead is actually like the horse being right handed or left handed. If the horse's lead is normally left, that means the horse's left front foot at a canter will be in front of the right.
