Thank you for pointing this one out.  We have a gelding (Cash Pony) who

is an aggressive little snot when it comes to nose sniffing.  We don't let

him even look at another horse.  It is really bad when at water troughs...Joni

will have to pull him out of the water (while he is drinking) when someone comes

up...because 9 times out of 10, people will just let their horse pile in on him, and

then the nose sniffing starts.  I have even told people not to let them sniff, and they

just keep their horses on a loose rein while Joni is pulling him back.  Everyone just

needs to try and remember a bubble around each horse, and stay in their own space.

 

So far we have kept any mishaps from happening....but it has been because we are

very careful...not because other people respect our horse space.
