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.

you should walk behind talk softly and run your hand over its bum/back. if it is a horse that is likely to kick the closer you are to it the less it would hurt if it kicked you. if you are a total stranger to this horse i would aides not to walk behind it until it knows who you are. Don't approach a horse directly from behind ever! It's a blind spot in their vision. Even you approach just a little to the right or left (preferably left) then they will be able to turn their head and see you clearly. Otherwise just call the horses name, have a treat in hand, and pat it on the rump as you get nearer to let it know you're there and not some vicious beast.
