If the horse does not see you coming or thinks you are a different animals they will kick. Always be sure to stand well out of kicking range, and let the horse know - verbally - that you are coming. i.e. "Hi Sparky!"

Your horse eats grass while you are walking him around what do you do?

If you are riding him, you should make him walk on. To do this, just give your horse a little kick, pull the reins up, or steer him into another direction. If you are walking next to your horse,(like leading him to a pasture, etc) its best not to let them eat grass. If your horse does so, pull him away from the grass. Its another thing if you are grazing him. If you are, you can let him eat grass.

When you walk a horse how can i break it from walking ahead of me?

You should call a trainer or more experienced friend to help you. But generally the best way is to carry a dressage whip in your left hand, while you are leading the horse with your right hand. When the horse starts to push to the front simply bring the handle of the whip up to chest level and let the horse bump into it. He will learn that he is not supposed to go past you. Alternatively you can stop walking and make the horse back up each time he tries to get in front of you. Eventually he will stop doing it.
