NO! He might kick you! Stand beside him/her. Thank goodness you asked or you would have been possibly kicked in the top part of your body. AKA, head, chest, etc.

When walking behind a horse what do you do?
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.

Should i Lead a horse by walking in front or beside?
It is rarely a good idea to lead a horse by walking in front of him (sometimes it is necessary if you are walking through a very narrow passageway). Ideally, you should walk by his left (near side) shoulder. That is a much safer position to be in, and it allows you to communicate better with your horse.

Yes and no. You should be leading from the left side, slightly in front of the horse. The horse's front feet should track next to you and its head should be at or near your right shoulder.

No, you should never stand directly in front of a horse.

Always lead the horse with the horse to your side and wearing a harness and lead rope.
When walking by a horse what should you do?
Make sure the horse doesn't try to attack you and keep on walking, or running! Although, I don't think you can outrun an angry horse. Try to outsmart it and fight back. :)
When you walk a horse how can i break it from walking ahead of me?
You should call a trainer or more experienced friend to help you. But generally the best way is to carry a dressage whip in your left hand, while you are leading the horse with your right hand. When the horse starts to push to the front simply bring the handle of the whip up to chest level and let the horse bump into it. He will learn that he is not supposed to go past you. Alternatively you can stop walking and make the horse back up each time he tries to get in front of you. Eventually he will stop doing it.
