How very true.  This brings to mind when as a young woman, Robin Forester, let her horse rub his head up against her back while in the paddock and his stall.  Then one day on a small ride on top of a very steep hill, on a very narrow path, she got off to walk for a whle.  Her horse proceeded to, abruptly, rub his forehead into her back.  She lost her footing - and well - I am sure you all know the rest of the story!  Suffice it to say - I don't ever let a horse rub their forehead on my back.  Six months of casts and traction would not be a fun thing to do.
