You tend to bounce with your thighs. That's why you should squeeze with your thighs. It will make you more secure and be easier on the horse's back.

Yes and no. You should be leading from the left side, slightly in front of the horse. The horse's front feet should track next to you and its head should be at or near your right shoulder.

All you do is gently pull back on the reins and squeeze your thighs on the horse. If it doesn't stop, then pull back harder. Not to hard though. Hope this helps!!
When walking by a horse what should you do?
Make sure the horse doesn't try to attack you and keep on walking, or running! Although, I don't think you can outrun an angry horse. Try to outsmart it and fight back. :)

no you walk on the left of the horse pushing forward a little on the lead. you only stand in front to make the horse back up.

When walking front of a horse what should you do?
Well, when walking in front of a horse, you should not yell or make any jerky movements. If you do, the horse might startle. And when a horse startles, anything could happen.
When walking behind a horse you should do what Be extremely quiet so you don't spook the horse Stand at least 6 feet behind the horse Stand very close to the horse?
# # # 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...
Why should you not pull back on reins when jumping a horse?
its prevents them from extending their body to make a smooth jump. It also unbalences them and they could fall over backwards.
