Re: [RC] Don't forget touching noses - Rae CallawayI have to watch my boy, General. For some bizarre reason, he thinks the proper
way to greet a new horse is to sniff under the flank! I think he got weaned
just a tad too early - or he was way more attached to that dairy bar than I
realized!

Subject: [RC] Don't forget touching noses
And what's with people at rides who let their horses
march right up to other horses to sniff noses? I have
had to literally either physically block another horse
with my body or turn and lead my horse away as the
oblivious owner is too busy gabbing with someone or
just doesn't seem to care. Touching noses can be just
a 'hi' but it's also an easy way to open the door to a
squabble. I have a little Arab gelding who is lowest
in our pecking order, but he will squeal and strike if
another horse sniffs his nose. Because I'm aware of
that behavior, I make SURE that no one gets close
enough to do it (in fact, I protect the space around
any of my horses when we're at rides), but it would be
nice if other people would pay attention to what their
horses are doing.
