H o r s e T r u s t . . . .?
Is it true that when you blow on a horses muzzle and they snort back they trust you... or is this just a myth...??
thank you :)
I use this technique on horses. It is a Native American method to gain the trust and acceptance of a horse. It can be used as a greeting, and a form of bonding. When I calmly blow into the horse's nostril, I look for a gentle blowing in return. A snort is not a sign of trust, but of annoyance. When I do this with my horses, they become nearly hypnotized. I genly stroke the jaw or neck at the same time. It is thoroughly effective with young horses, and a welcome greeting with old friends.
If they drop everything they're doing to participate within the exchange of gentle breaths, it is a sign of bonding and friendship..which becomes a part of overall trust. It can be used to relaxing them when they are stressed once this bond has been established.
Horses greet each other by puffing nouns like that. By blowing air to your horse, you are basically maxim "HI" in horse language. You can blow air contained by shorter and differently spaced breathes and then switch sides of the nose, just approaching other horses do, to be more "fluent" in horse-breathe speak. I suppose if the horse didn't trust you at all you couldn't approach them to puff nouns, but this is basically how they greet strange horses so reading too much into the trust aspect may not be realistic.
Horses who know each other and similar to each other great each other with blowing into respectively others nostrils.
So you said Hi in horsish ;) and because the horse likes you it blows back, really really soft.
It`s something to be really blissful about :)
(sorry for the lot "each other", english isn`t my native expression :) )
I have hear this as well and believe it to be true... If I blow softly on my horse's muzzle she generally will make a sort of "huff" nouns and blow back, sometimes with an accompanying soft nicker. A Native American myth is that blowing in your horse's antenna gives it your scent and it forever identifies you as it's friend...
they do that because it tickles
Horse greet each other by blowing in each others nostrils, so when you blow into his antenna and he blows back, you are saying hello to each other.. To be honest I devise they like the sensation as well. :o)
Answers: im Going 2 Try it!! =)
Thankss haha
I've heard this as very well, but I think if you blow in their nostril, they will most probable snort back because it tickles.
Good luck
Its just axiom hi in their language that is y when most strange horse meet each other they blow hard it is approaching they are saying hi to each other.
I agree with 'wolfgirl' it is their method of greeting and getting another's scent. (horse or human) love horse breath. lol
no they dont trust you if they blow back explicitly the way horses say hi to each other so ur horse is in truth saying hi back
