No they don't. As I used to tell my children when we were dairy farming, a cow kicking as a rule is trying to push you away because of an injured teat or something, a horse is trying to kill you. A person must respect the back end and the amount of reach they have and if your going to be back there you want to be very close to them not 3/4 feet away which some don't get either. I was milking one afternoon and looked out the side window to see my quarter horse standing funny. Upon further examination I see my 5 year old daughter hanging onto one of his rear legs as he is kind of shaking his leg trying to get her off. Damn near had a heart attack needless to say. That horse was one of a kind though. Caught the same kid holding onto his tail while he walked along dragging her through the snow. Smokey was truly something else.

he just walked up behind the horse to feed him, and got a hoof make a hole in his temple I'm not a horse person, but have been around horses off and on during my life. Anyone walking up behind a horse, especially a two-year-old, is asking for trouble.
