You can walk directly around and even behind horses, if you trust them. But a horse you’re unfamiliar with, or is unfamiliar with you, you’re better off to stay at their head or sides.
I was looking through photos just now and remembered a dream I’d had a few nights ago where I anxiously walked past a horse’s rear end, knowing I was taking a chance to get kicked, as I didn’t know this horse.
I don’t know why I was dreaming of horses. Maybe subconsciously missing home or my childhood. Did you know that when you’re driving horses you say “gee” when you want them to go right and “haw” for left? Pretty cool.
There are no horses up here. No fields nor farms nor pastures. There’s only bush.
But I’m happy to have known horses when I did.
