No. Do not walk directly in front of the horse/pony. Usually you walk by his neck (in between the distance from the ears to the shoulders) this is incase he gets spooked and bolts. So, be safe and don't get trampled!

When leading a horse should you walk directly in front of it to show it where to go?
for howrse: falseyou should stand to the side.Obviously false; that's really dangerous. if the horse spooked or was a bit strong, it would knock you down. Always lead them on the horse's left side.If you are showing your horse in-hand, swap sides when turning so the judge can get a clear view. If you are turning left, get onto the left side.

When leading a horse should you walk directly in front of it?
Answer 1: No you should not walk directly in front of your horse. They can accidentally knock you down or step on you. You should walk at their shoulder. It will allow both of you to see where you are going and what rocks or holes and things like that are in front of you. Answer 2: No, when you are leading a horse you always lead on the left. The reason you should lead on the left instead of directly in front is because the horse needs to learn directions. But when you are in tight areas it is perfectly fine to walk directly in front of it, but make sure you are watching the horse while leading in front. It could rear up or bit by something like a fly and go crazy. Answer 3: (Supervisor answer) Horses have 2 blind spots, one of those is directly in front of it's nose, and the other is right behind it's tail. Therefore if you are directly in front of it, the horse cannot see you to know where to go. That means you should stand near the shoulder of the horse, on the left or right side. Many people only lead from the left side as this is tradition, but it is acceptable and considered good training practice to lead he horse from the right also.

No never, not even if going through a narrow gap, always walk to one side so the horse doesnt bolt and trample you. absolutely not, you don't want to lead directly in front of the horse, but you don't want to lead right behind the horse either. you should lead the horse from your right, so the horse does does not feel intimidated.

It's safer to do it this way.
