No. Directly behind them is a blind point in which horses can not see. This is why you should never approach a horse from behind, because it will not see you and it might think you are a predetor, hence you might get kicked. If ever you need to go around a horse, talk to him and run your hand over his romp so he knows you are there. It is still better however, to go around a horse via the front.

What are two visual blind spots that horses have?
Believe it or not, they are where you would never expect. One directly in front of them, and another directly behind them (Though, that one you would probably expect). You see, a horse's eyes aren't like a humans, a humans pupil is placed directly in the center of the eye ball, when a horses is a little bit off on that. Because of that, it can't see directly in front of him. It CAN however, see everywhere else *not including the back*.
Why do horses only kick the people that are behind them that are trying to get their babies?
Because horses' eyes are on the sides of their head, they have great peripheral vision, but unfortunately cannot see directly in front of them or directly behind them. Therefore, when a person approaches a horse from behind, the horse cannot see them coming. If that person goes after the horses' foal, it's natural defense as a prey animal is going to be to defend itself. The best way for a horse to defend its rear is to buck out (or kick) at whatever is behind it. If you wish to approach a horse, *ALWAYS* make yourself known to the animal by either talking to it or keeping in close contact with the horse so that it will know where you are.
Can horses see in front of them?
Due to the placement of their eyes, they see very differently than a human. For instance, they cannot see anything directly in front of them but can see things behind them. Also, they cannot see nearly as wide a range of colors as humans. There is often debate over whether they can see color at all but most sources say they can see blues and yellows. Another thing is that horses have far superior night vision.
How many blind spots does a horse field vision have?

Witch would you most likeley do if you are standing behind a horse talk softly or stand six feet behind it?
Well, first I WOULDN'T stand behind the horse. Horses can not see directly behind themselves, and might kick. Talking softly is good, as you pass behind the horse, closely, like with your hand on their hip as you walk past. If you stand 6 feet behind, you might just about be at full reach if they kicked.
What do horses have that are larger than any animal?

How far can a horse see?
A horse can see up to about 1 mile on flat ground.Ans2:You and horses can see hundreds of light years when you look at the stars. Absolute distance is not necessarily how you would judge how well a horse sees. Based on the size of the eye, you could expect that a horse can see 50% better than a human except that does not take into account the shape of a horse's pupil. Their eyes are designed to provide panoramic vision and not to provide detail such as the human eye provides by giving binocular vision and by having a well-developed fovea. The paper at the attached link covers these topics and many others. Horses have eyes that see well enough to protect them from predators that might be able to out-run them if they get close enough. They would certainly be able to see storms blowing in from miles away.
