NO! Never stand close to a horses` butts.
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.
With a familiar and calm horse, it is OK to calmly (but not timidly) go behind while staying close and keeping a hand on top of his hindquarters. With an unfamiliar horse, it is a good idea to stay out of the "kicking radius", about 6 feet away.
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.

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 at least 6 feet behind the horse
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.
Talk softly so he knows where you are and do not move quickly so that you won't spook him. You can either walk 5 to 6 feet behind them out of kicking range or you can walk directly behind them with your hand on his rump to let him know where you are. The idea behind walking as close as you can to him is he won't have enough room to get enough momentum to do a whole lot of damage to you if he did decide to kick.
It most likely is safe to walk behind a tractor. However, if someone were to walk too close behind the tractor and not pay attention to where he or she was walking, he might get his/her feet caught in something. All in all, if someone were paying attention, walking behind a tractor does not seem hazardous.
it is always important to be careful when walking behind a horse. talk to it as you walk down its side toward its hind end. carefully place your hand on its back and run it along its body as you walk. when you get to his hind end, stay as close as you can to its rear without being right on it. this will minimize damage if you get kicked because there will be less force.
It could mean that the boy is acting inappropriately and may have intentions to touch you inappropriately. It is important to communicate your boundaries clearly and, if needed, remove yourself from the situation or seek help from someone you trust.
