Always keep in mind about the nearness between the horse and you, while standing near the animal. When it is required to walk behind the animal remember to walk close to the horse as much as possible. There are possibilities of the horse kicking when it gets nervous or distressed. You can avoid this by walking close to the animal thus preventing the animal any room for kicking.
When entering or exiting the barn you should lead the horse, do not use a halter, instead use the lead rope which gives you greater control with the horse. Remember to train your horse to accept other activity around the barn so no one else gets hurt from the horse rearing or kicking someone inside the barn.
Irrespective of whether you are handling your horse for the first time or just leaning over the fence for enjoyment learning about some safety precautions would prevent you from any unnecessary accidents and injuries. There are possibilities of people getting hurt when even the calmest horse gets scared or rattled.
Always keep your animals separate. Avoid placing them alone in a closed place. This is simply because animals need not necessarily get along well with each other. They could get restless and this could make the situation hazardous for you and the other animals.
You may get a little weighed down with the thought of remembering a lot of things while starting out. But as time passes by, remembering the safety rules would become a habit.
