Will a horse not trample people if they are lying down?

That is not answerable. Depending on what happens, the horse could accidentally trample on you. If you just happen to fall off, the horse will stay still or run. It all depends on the horse.


When walking behind a horse should you talk softly stand very close to the hindquarters be extremely quiet so you do not spook the horse or stay six feet behind it?

With a familiar and calm horse, it is OK to calmly (but not timidly) go behind while staying close and keeping a hand on top of his hindquarters. With an unfamiliar horse, it is a good idea to stay out of the "kicking radius", about 6 feet away.


When not all riders are mounted can you make your horse canter or should you make him stay still or walk?

It is generally best practice to have all riders mounted before asking the horse to canter. This ensures safety for both the riders and the horse. However, if some riders are dismounted, it is best to have the horse walk or stand still until all riders are ready.


How can you keep your weight equal when horse-riding?

You can keep your weight equal on a horse if you stay straight, and don't bend your back, except when jumping, then you keep your heels down and arch your back. That's all you can do!.


When leading a horse what should you do and not do?

Do walk on the horse's left side, hold the lead rope with your right hand near the horse's head, maintaining a safe distance. Don't walk directly in front of or behind the horse, avoid sudden movements or noises that may startle the horse, and never wrap the lead rope around your hand.
