when a horse folds up his/her upper lip it means he/she smelled somthing funny,like somthing he/she has never smelled before. My 4 year old mare somtimes does it when I ride her on the rode in my neighborhood.

What is the Difference between a horse baring teeth and showing teeth?

Horses don't really bare their teeth like a dog would as a warning. If a horse is baring his teeth he intends to use them to bite and this happens FAST. When a horse shows his teeth without aggression its usually the Fleishman's Response, where he picks up his head and curls back his upper lip exposing the teeth, which is the horse smelling someting such as a mare in season or something not natural to its enviroment.
