Horses do not like surprises behind them. You have to slowly from the front of the horse, rub your hand along it as you walk to the back of it. The horse should then know that it is you and will not kick out of reflex.
Horses can not see behind them. There bodies are long. Any sudden touch behind them is like someone quietly creeping behind you unnoticed and then yelling "boo!". It might make you jump.
Suddenly touching the horse in its blind spot, without it feeling you move there, will cause it to lash out and hurt someone. This kick can be deadly and can land someone in the hospital.

∙ 15y agoThis depends on the horse! Some horses like to kick; in that case, you probably should not go behind that horse. Some people like to pull the horse's tail, but that's not necessary. So long as the horse knows where you are, it will be comfortable if you go behind it. Keep a hand on the horse, or make soft noise like singing or whistling as you walk around so that it knows where you are.

When walking behind a horse you should do what Stand 6 feet behind the horse Speak softly so the horse knows you are there Be extremely quit so you won't spook the horse?
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.

What should you do when your walking behind your horse?
You first let the horse know your behind him or her by talking to the horse calmly and walk slowly toward the horse so you don't spook him or her. Never Run Behind a horse!!!!$!!!You then gently hand your hand on your horse's behind and continue talking to him or her to let the horse know that its just you that's behind him or her. By then it should be safe enough to do whatever you were going to do. But whenever you are behind a horse, Let The Horse Know That!!!!

No. You should never walk close to a horse's hindquarters. Stay at least 5 to 7 feet behind. Even if the horse is not a "kicker" any horse can be frightened and their reflexes are so fast you would not have time to get out of the way.

Should you be extremely quiet when behind a horse?
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.:)
What should you be doing when you are near the back of the horse?
Not go directly behind you as it may kick you in the face. If you're picking out its hooves, do it side on and you should get a trainer really... if the horse doesn't kick well you have no problem just don't spook it.
