On the left hand side by the shoulder, don't walk in front of it, walk by the side calmly, and don't look it in the eye.
never ever do that because you might get trampled if the horse gets scared. always stay on the left side of the horse you are walking.
stand at least 6 feet away

When walking a horse, it is recommended to walk slightly to the side of the horse's head to provide clear directions and maintain safety. Standing directly in front of a horse can cause confusion and possibly lead to unintentional collisions. Standing to the side also allows you to easily guide the horse's movements.
Stand at least 6 feet back and talk softly so the horse knows where you are.
Talk softly to it so it knows where you are, and stand at least six feet behind it. =-)

Its recommended.
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.
no, you should stand to the left or right of it's head so it doesn't feel like somethings going on.
Sad experience has taught he how to properly estimate the lenght of a horses kick.^lllThe person who said that did not answer your question. That person simply stated something that happened to him. The answer to your question is yes. You should stand 6 feet behind a horse, if you absoloutely HAVE to stand behind them. Otherwise, avoid walking/standing behind a horse. Also, you should talk quietly to the horse while walking/standing behind a horse to let him/her know your there, otherwise, it may kick for some reason, say a fly was bugging it, and you would get kicked.I hope this helped.-Winnie7573
Well, when walking in front of a horse, you should not yell or make any jerky movements. If you do, the horse might startle. And when a horse startles, anything could happen.
