You should probably be at least 2-3 feet away from the horse, if you are still worried about it bucking, you should talk to it, make a noise or touch his bottom so he knows where you are.

How far away should you stand behind most horses?
When you are riding on another horse behind a horse, always keep the space of an "imaginary horse" between the two of you. If you are just walking behind a horse, run your hand along their behind to let them know you are there, and if is a bigger horse just make a circle around it.
When whoking behnd a horse you should?
Always stand at least 6 feet away in case the horse kicks out.
How far behind when walking behind a horse should you stand?
If you get up fairly close you can't get kicked only shoved. Mistake folks make is standing where they believe they're just out of range but anything that weighs 1200lbs and can scratch behind it's ear with a rear hoof has fairly good aim. As long as the horse knows you are there you shouldn't have to stand away from him. Put your hand on his back as you walk around him...to the back especially so he knows where you are.

When walking behind a horse should you talk softly stand very close to the hindquarters be extremely quiet so you do not spook the horse or stay six feet behind it?
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 you stand behind your horse you should do what?
Unless you are 6 feet back or at least out of leg range, you shouldn't be standing behind your horse at all. If you must stand behind your horse, always be sure that you are far enough back that if your horse spooked, it couldn't kick you. You should also let the horse know that you are behind it so that there is less chance of it spooking and hurting you. And of course, obviously, don't try to walk behind a horse that you don't know well. Without being familiar with the animal, you would have no idea what to expect from it.
Should you hug from behind?
No I wouldn't hug a horse from behind because it could poo or wee on you and also it could run away!
When you are walking behind a horse what should you do?
When you walk behind I think you are supposed to be extremmly quiet and and stay about 6 ft away from it's hindquarters.
When leading a horse should you stand direcly infront of it?
No, you should stand (usually) to the left side, at the horse's shoulder. When leading, you should stand about arms length away so that they won't step on you. (believe me, it's painful) Horses cannot see directly in front of them, so if you suddenly move away from their blind point, they could become startled and run away. The left side of the horse is usually where horses are handled from, so they are more used to being handled from here.
When walking behind a horse should you stay 6 feet away or stay very close to its hindquarters?
you should stay close to the hindquarters
