Horses nibbling at each other can be a sign of bonding and social interaction, but it is not always an indicator that they get along well. It could also be a display of dominance or a way to establish a pecking order within the group. It is important to consider other body language and behaviors to determine the overall relationship between the horses.
No, horses chewing on each other may indicate aggression or dominance issues within the herd. It is important to monitor their behavior closely and intervene if necessary to prevent potential conflicts or injuries. Consulting with a professional trainer or behaviorist can help address any underlying issues and improve the horses' relationship.
No horses cant talk but they are friendly and playful No sorry they dont no animals do YEAH my horse told me last week he wanted an apple. :P
Male guineas get along quite happily. Although before you put any two guineas in a cage together, you might want to introduce them a bit slow so that they are familiar with each other.
By call if you mean to signal each other, or just to say 'hey I'm over here, come see me!" or to say BACK OFF, they will winnie - loud joyful snort - whats this/ back away nicker - hey there 'trumpet' - HELOOOOO TO ALL/ back away from my herd
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.
They're not nibbling: they're grooming each other. Grooming is one of the social bonds that horses use to become and stay friends. Horses are social animals.
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.
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!!"
no they could just be showing affection in a horsy kinda way LOL!
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.

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.
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 dont eat each other they are vegetarians
