no they could just be showing affection in a horsy kinda way LOL!
Yes, horses nibble to show affection to other horses, but this can also be a sign of dislike to other horses. Watch to see if the nibbling escalates to hard biting with the ears laid back flat. This means dislike. If the nibbling stays nibbling that is ok.
Yes, nibbling between horses indicates they like each other, however, sometimes a nibble isn't a nibble, it is a test of dominance. So if it goes to biting, keep an eye on them, and separate if needed.
When a horses is nibling on another horse is a sighn of friendship. if the horse was nibbling in a mean way, the other horse would kick or somthing. this nibbling act is a way of grooming eachother. -georgia head horse administrator
Yes, There getting along great when they do that, When they nibble they are grooming eachother. Kinda like saying "Hey, whats up? Where have you been? I'v missed you!!"
horses chewing on each other are often just grooming each other and if they are just grooming each other they should get along fine
Horses will groom each other if they get along. This action looks alot like nibbling, but they don't do it to be mean. However, a horse who goes to nibble at the behind of another passing horse probably does not get along with that horse too well.
Yes, this is a sign of friendliness.
it means their friends and enjoy each other. They do that in the wild and in paddocks. When they nibble they are scratching and grooming each other.
Yes they do! When the are "Nibbling" they are actually grooming each other. When a horse finds an itchy spot it can't reach, it will go over to a friend to help him scratch. The itchy horse will use his lips on his friend to guide where he wants to be scratched! A M A Z I N G ? I think so! Hope this answers your Question H O R S ii E
it would depend on how you introduced them to each other as i have 2 dogs and they get on well with our horses
horses have different ways of sending messages to other horses and us. a good example is: neighing means the horse is distressed. horses also have physical communication as well. rearing and bucking are signs of either fear or anger.
Of course they do! Well each herd depends on each other for safety. They're a family. All families depend on among themselves for safety. Just like you depend on your parents for support, food shelter, clothing, and those things. Yes, mustang horses depend on each other for safety.
