Horse Behavior

This can mean multiple things, the horse may just be trying to nuzzle and bond with you. It may feel scared and is looking for comfort and reassurance. It might smell your perfume/deodorant and be curious.

The main idea of The Language of Horses by Monty Roberts is that horses speak with body language and it is our tasks to learn their language so we can communicate effectively with them, not the other way around.

They rear, buck, Trumpet, and chase to threaten first. They will also lower their heads and wag them from side to side to threaten. If neither of those work, then they will bite, kick and lash out. They are built more for running than anything, and will flee from most danger before choosing to fight, unless they must defend foals, herd members, etc.

Well there are several reasons for it. Some foals are sick and won't survive but the mother won't harm her baby, but another horse that senses the foals problem may chase the mother off and kill the foal to prevent suffering. Stallions will kill very young foals to cause a mare to go back into heat immediately, and some horses are extremely territorial and will kill anything , foals included to defend it's space.

You shouldn't walk behind horses you're not familiar with, but if you have to, you should rub your hand across their body as you walk behind them (so they know you're there). If you don't want to walk close to them, you should walk really far behind them, so that if they do kick, you're too far away to reach.

Horses become frightened because they are prey animals and it is what they evolved to do. Horses have the fastest reaction time of any animal and this is because they were hunted for food by predatory animals and humans for a very long time. They had to be able to spot danger or what could be dangerous and get away from it as fast as possible to avoid being dinner for a predator, this caused horses to become easily frightened or 'spooky'.

They are best in the classical dressage and in combined driving

The University of Washington explains that the endocrine system secretes hormones and other substances into the bloodstream to control behavioral processes, such as responses to stress. Additionally, the endocrine system controls biological processes, such as appetite, metabolism, and growth. According to Wikipedia, the endocrine glands secrete substances directly into the bloodstream. This allows the endocrine system to control distant systems and affect behavior. The limbic system controls aspects of human behavior, such as emotion and memory. The hypothalamus receives some information from the autonomic nervous system. This allows the hypothalamus to monitor the status of the internal organs. Because the hypothalamus operates on unconscious nervous stimuli, it is very important in controlling emotions.

Because the hypothalamus is part of the limbic system and people can change their response to their emotions, behavior can also exert control over the endocrine system. This, according to Weber State University, is why cognitive behavioral therapy works. While hormones can affect behavior, behavior can also affect the hormones produced by the endocrine system.

Head Shaking can be caused by Tranquilizers, Photosensitivity, ear infections, ear mites, issues with teeth or even poor biting.

The Hanoverian is described as having a stable, kind, but energetic personality. However it should be kept in mind that all horses no matter what breed they are have individual personalities that do not always fall within the breed description. European Warmblood breeds are known for their gentleness , but many also describe them as 'slow minded'.

This should not be taught to a horse at all. Horses can and will bite and if they are encouraged to lick someones face they could potentially hurt a human. Only professional horsemen who train for movies and the such should ever teach a horse to lick.
