NO! Never stand close to a horses` butts.
no
Stay a little more then the length of the horses leg behind the horses hind quarters
The hindquarters are basically the back hips of the horse, over the hind legs.
far enough! a little less than a meter
Kicking is a sign of disrespect, so what you need to do is gain your horses respect. Do alot of ground work, especially stuff like yeilding the horses hindquarters. Even after you have gained your horses respect, be very careful around this horse. When walking behind him, stay 5-6 feet behind him.
When walking up behind a horse, you should talk in a gentle voice. stay close to the hindquarters. if you dont know the horse, walk way around. if the horse kicks and your right up next to it youll get pushed. if your mid distance, youll get the blow. if your way away you wont get anything.

A horses underline is the 'under carriage' portion of the horse. Basically it's the line that the horses stomach/barrel makes, just as the topline is the horses back and hindquarters. A horses underline should be longer than it's topline.
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.
The horses butt cheeks, between the loins and the croup and above the legs.
Stand at least 6 feet behind the horse
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.
stand 6 feet behind it,i have 8 horses and my friend got kicked straight in the jaw from standing behind it!!Her jaw was in medical condition but she made it threw the surgery.
