when asked if my mount kicks, I usually respond "not yet"

Personally, I start out with the assumption that all of the horses will kick, I really only ease up on the concept if I know the horse or the rider tells me not to be concerned about it (and yeah, I should still assume they will kick, but just being honest!). But particularly with horses I don't know (like at an endurance ride), I try to keep pretty good distance all of the time. It seems common sense to me... And I hope for the same respect for my horse (who is not a regular kicker, but will if a horse is ramming into her rear end).
