∙ 12y agoWell it depends.If they're adult horses,then they are probably fighting to figure out who will be the leader,if so just let them figure it out,they'll learn to get along in time.If they are fillies(or colts) then they are just playing so don't worry about it.So to answer your question, yes they will get along eventually.
The above answer is both right and wrong...
Adult horses do nible on each other, yes this is a sign of acceptance or friendship.
Not all horse will always get along either,
Fillies and colts do nible each other and often adult horses too.
They nible the adults to test boundaries.... In other words: To see what they can and can't get away with!
This is called mutual grooming when horses are in the wild they don't have anyone else to groom them o they groom each other !!! but this could be a sign of aggression in horses who you know don't get on well usually

∙ 16y agoIt depends on where and how they are nibbling. If it is more of a nipping on the hind region, it is a gentle reminder of dominance. If they are standing nibbling, especially in the mane area, it is a calming and bonding act. If your horse is ever stressed try "nibbling" with your fingers right at the base of the mane about mid neck. It should calm them down if they are bonded to you.
