There was one horse at my old barn that was known as Jack 1. He took my friend by the hair and threw her up into the air! After that they sold him and got Jack 2, who was much nicer!

I LOVE ALL THE COMMENTS. THANKS FOR SHARING! I GUESS YOU ONLY HAVE TO BITTEN, KICKED AT OR STEPPED ON ONCE TO REALIZE THAT HORSES ARE NOT GIANT DOGS AND THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THEIR BODY LANGUAGE AND HOW THEY “SEE” THEMSELVES IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH US HUMANS.
BUT I BET YOU ALL GRABBED YOUR NOSE WHILE READING THIS, DIDN’T YOU?

My sister used to board horse at her farm & there was a girl that had a lovley horse he just loved to give kisses. Well that would have been fine except one day he was kissin her face & oh something smelled so good to him that he bit her cheek & lips which turned out quite nasty for her as the lips & part of her cheek were bitten off.

Yes, we have to be the herd leaders…a horse that leads a herd would not tolerate being touched by the lips of another horse without having invited them into that space.

So true that sometimes we ignore the little cute habits that soon become dangerous evil habits.

That’s one of the reasons why I have a zero tolerance for nipping. A cute little nip can all too easily become a nasty chomp, and a horse’s jaws are plenty strong enough to take a chunk out of you.

and even though it may be sweet when those little horsey lips give you a back massage while you are picking out thier feet, but you shouldnt let them because soon enough that adorable habit has become a large toothed chomping habit!!!
