All horse riders and lovers will agree that at times, horses can pull some very funny faces! They will sneeze, curl their lips and nuzzle their favorite humans. But what does it mean when a horse lips you?
What Does It Mean When You See Horse Lips Flapping?
If your horse is flapping his lips it can mean a few different things. Nervous horses may flap their lower lip if they are feeling insecure or uncertain.
So, as we’ve learned, horses have some very complex facial expressions! Horses may flap their lips and nuzzle their owners as a sign of affection, showing that you are a valued member of their herd. This is a continuation of the natural behavior that horses show in the wild when they will nuzzle and groom each other.
