Question

question 1-7
which of these is not a safe way to move around the horse?
keeping your hand on their rump as you pass around
under their neck while they are tied
either out of kick range or close to their rear
none of the above

Explanation:

To determine the unsafe way, we analyze each option:

• Keeping hand on rump while passing: Helps the horse know your presence, safe.
• Under their neck when tied: A safe zone as the horse can't easily kick or harm from there.
• "Either out of kick range or close to their rear": Being close to the rear (within kick range) is unsafe because horses can kick powerfully from the rear. So this option has an unsafe action (being close to rear, not out of kick range).
• "None of the above" is incorrect as we identified an unsafe option.

Answer:

C. Either out of kick range or close to their rear
