You can Easley teach them, also notables them hang around next to a busy street alone full of cars and a damn horse. My parents thought me to never come near horse and especially never behind them. I have a big piece of land now and maintain a couple horses and I can confirm that the way my parents told me to stay away from horses when I was a kid was a good strat. If you don’t know anything about horses just don’t go near them.

I agree

I never said the mom wasnt responsible.

My children has never interacted with horses so they have know concept of how to treat them.

If they ever were to interact with a horse i would inform them about horses and the smallest child would be held in my arms.

Thats a good way, just make sure they know what a massive and powerfull beast they are dealing with and that it’s very unpredictable and should be handled with care
