NO! He might kick you! Stand beside him/her. Thank goodness you asked or you would have been possibly kicked in the top part of your body. AKA, head, chest, etc.
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.
As much as a normal lightweight horse, probably in between an Arabian and a Quarter 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.
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.
Yes, It depends on the softness of your horse's feet (If they are having a hard time walking on gravel/blacktop roads then they should be shod) But it doesn't hurt them at all.
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.
It is rarely a good idea to lead a horse by walking in front of him (sometimes it is necessary if you are walking through a very narrow passageway). Ideally, you should walk by his left (near side) shoulder. That is a much safer position to be in, and it allows you to communicate better with your horse.
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.
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.

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.
Yes and no. You should be leading from the left side, slightly in front of the horse. The horse's front feet should track next to you and its head should be at or near your right shoulder. If you must walk in front of a horse, make sure its head is at your back so that its front feet won't trod on your heels.
No, you should never stand directly in front of a horse. They could strike out at you with their front hooves or try to bite you and you won't be able to see the horse's body language in case they start to spook at something. Always lead the horse with the horse to your side and wearing a harness and lead rope.
Make sure the horse doesn't try to attack you and keep on walking, or running! Although, I don't think you can outrun an angry horse. Try to outsmart it and fight back. :)
You should call a trainer or more experienced friend to help you. But generally the best way is to carry a dressage whip in your left hand, while you are leading the horse with your right hand. When the horse starts to push to the front simply bring the handle of the whip up to chest level and let the horse bump into it. He will learn that he is not supposed to go past you. Alternatively you can stop walking and make the horse back up each time he tries to get in front of you. Eventually he will stop doing it.
you should walk atleast six feet behind it,and..you should talk to your horse very softly to let your horse know where you are.
