A horse has extremely good peripheral eyesight so you do not have to lead a horse from the front. You can stand next to it to be safe and lead it with its reign or rope.
No, never walk in front of a horse. You guide at the shoulder. If the horse gets a fright and spooks, who's gonna get run over? No, walk on the left shouldre of the horse.
if the horse knows you it may follow you. if you're a stranger to it, it probably wont follow you.

When leading a horse do you walk directly in front of it?
No. Do not walk directly in front of the horse/pony. Usually you walk by his neck (in between the distance from the ears to the shoulders) this is incase he gets spooked and bolts. So, be safe and don't get trampled!
When leading a horse should you walk directly in front of it to show it where to go?
for howrse: falseyou should stand to the side.Obviously false; that's really dangerous. if the horse spooked or was a bit strong, it would knock you down. Always lead them on the horse's left side.If you are showing your horse in-hand, swap sides when turning so the judge can get a clear view. If you are turning left, get onto the left side. If you are turning right, go to the right side. If you are at a show and the judge has asked you to do this, you should be pushing your horse, not pulling on itHorses have two blind spots: directly in front of them and directly behind them. When leading a horse, you should stand to one side so that the horse can see you. If you stand directly in front, you will be hidden, and that will make the horse nervous. Walk beside and hold the lead rope loosely so that you don't tug on the halter.
When leading a horse should you walk directly in front of it?
Answer 1: No you should not walk directly in front of your horse. They can accidentally knock you down or step on you. You should walk at their shoulder. It will allow both of you to see where you are going and what rocks or holes and things like that are in front of you. Answer 2: No, when you are leading a horse you always lead on the left. The reason you should lead on the left instead of directly in front is because the horse needs to learn directions. But when you are in tight areas it is perfectly fine to walk directly in front of it, but make sure you are watching the horse while leading in front. It could rear up or bit by something like a fly and go crazy. Answer 3: (Supervisor answer) Horses have 2 blind spots, one of those is directly in front of it's nose, and the other is right behind it's tail. Therefore if you are directly in front of it, the horse cannot see you to know where to go. That means you should stand near the shoulder of the horse, on the left or right side. Many people only lead from the left side as this is tradition, but it is acceptable and considered good training practice to lead he horse from the right also.
When leading a horse in hand should you walk in front of the horse?
No never, not even if going through a narrow gap, always walk to one side so the horse doesnt bolt and trample you. absolutely not, you don't want to lead directly in front of the horse, but you don't want to lead right behind the horse either. you should lead the horse from your right, so the horse does does not feel intimidated. When going through a small gap, it is nice to be able to lunge the horse in a small half circle through the gate, yield his hind quarters and then walk through, so that you both don't have to swish through. It's safer to do it this way.
