well it not such a good idea walking behind a horse but if you must as you are walking behind him run your hand along is/her body so the horse knows your there dont make sudden movements to spook him walk carefuly and softly the horse expert
When walking behind a horse, there are two things you can do- walk 5-6 feet behind him or walk directly behind him. The first way is the safest and you should do it around an unfamiliar horse. With a horse you know well that you trust, you can walk directly behind him. This way, even if he did decide to kick he wouldn't have enough room to get enough momentum to do much damage. either way you walk around the horse, you should talk softly so the horse knows where you are and do not walk quickly, as this will most likely spook the horse. If you are walking directly behind them, keep a hand on their butt to let them know that you're there.
you should walk atleast six feet behind it,and..you should talk to your horse very softly to let your horse know where you are.
You should walk on the left side of your horse and be level with it's head. Don't ever let them walk behind you as if they spook and bolt forward you have no warning and could be hurt.
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.
Carefully
Don't walk too closely behind a horse, some horses will kick you, and they have very powerful legs. Walk at a safe distance. also let the horse know that you are there so dont do any sudden movements and talk to the horse softly and stand at least 6 metres behind it.
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.
you should give enough space between you and the horse so that if the horse kicks you will not be in the way, and you wont get hurt
Not necessarily, as long as you put your hand on the horse while walking around it, the horse knows your there and you do not startle it, you should be okay. If the horse is known to kick at people, then you would be better walking in front than behind.AnswerIf you cannot walk, for some reason) in front of the horse then, yes it is better to walk at least six feet behind the horse. It usually puts you out of kicking distance.
You first let the horse know your behind him or her by talking to the horse calmly and walk slowly toward the horse so you don't spook him or her. Never Run Behind a horse!!!!$!!!You then gently hand your hand on your horse's behind and continue talking to him or her to let the horse know that its just you that's behind him or her. By then it should be safe enough to do whatever you were going to do. But whenever you are behind a horse, Let The Horse Know That!!!!
When you walk behind I think you are supposed to be extremmly quiet and and stay about 6 ft away from it's hindquarters.
You shouldn't really walk behind a horse as it is very dangerous. However, if the case is that your long reining, then make sure you know what your doing and just be quiet and do not upset the horse as you will be the one who gets kicked.
