How Do Horses Show Their Emotions? <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf your horse chooses to be close to you or gives you full attention, it is a likely attempt to demonstrate just how infatuated they are with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#2. Leaning On You <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You don’t really want a horse on top of you, pushing on you or constantly in your space. However, a horse that carefully leans on you from time to time with their head is a good sign! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Horses love to share any body contact they can get with their lvoed ones and you will often see them trying to lean into other horses when in the wild. They are just as likely to do this to people to; they want to feel tender contact with those that mean most to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#3. Nuzzling You <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A loving horse will use its nose to nuzzle you – this is one of the most vulnerable parts of their body and opening this up to you shows just how comfortable thye are with your presence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also tend to do this to their young foals as a sign of protection therefore this is a hint that they will always be looking out for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#4. Sharing Air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Has your horse ever brought their face to yours and then just…breathed? In the wild, as well as in domestic care, horses will show affection to one another by sharing breath with one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Horses will put their noses together and then share the air. THis tendency extends to horses showing love to their owners as well! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you’ve ever wondered whether or not your horse shows you affection, you’ll be happy to learn that they most likely do! Recognizing horse affection can be difficult if you’re not familiar with the signs to look for. Hopefully this guide helped a bit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
