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.
