How do you approach and lead a horse safely from a stall corral or field?

You should always stand to the left side of a horse with your hip even with it's shoulder and your right arm close to the lead shank, 'snaking' the rope in front of you and holding it with your left hand. This will ensure that if the horse rears up you will not be in danger of being struck. IF the horse bolts forward it will not run over you and you can always pull it's head around to the left (staying at his/her shoulder) to circle it and calm it down. NEVER lead a horse with it following you!!

∙ 8y agoApproach quietly and calmly from one side - horses cannot see things that are underneath their noses, but see best from the side. Slowly grasp the halter and snap the lead rope onto the ring, then, staying to one side and a little in front, walk in the direction you want the horse to go. If the horse tries to rush in front of you, turn it in a circle until it gets the idea that it needs to follow you.

How big does a horses field need to be if the horse is 16hh?
The height of the horse doesn't have much bearing on how big the field should be. What counts is the horses health, activity level, lifestyle and the quality of the field. One acre is the bare minimum for one horse that will be grazing in a field, assuming the field is well maintained, if not you need to increase the size. However if the horse is on a restricted diet and is not able to graze then a 100 feet by 60 feet dry-lot set up can and does work just as well as a large field provided the horse has constant access to clean , fresh hay.

What is the best way to approach your horse. Im pretty sure diagonaly?
The way you approach a horse will depend on where it is and if it's seen you coming or not. If it is in it's stall and hasn't seen you, make your presence know by talking softly to him until he looks at you and turns around, from there you can enter the stall and approach the horse typically from the front or shoulder areas. If the horse is out in a field or paddock it may or may not have seen your approach (always make noise to let the horse know you are there.) If the horse continues to graze or just stand there approach it from the shoulder area, you do not always have to come at the horse diagonally, but it can help keep you out of a horses blind spots.
