    They are trying to get a better smell of something usually. Can't think what it's called right now. Usually done by stallions smelling a mare in heat.

    it doesnt mean they wanna have sex.

    it means they love you or like you cause i went to a rescue farm to help out and the horse showed his teeth i asked what hesdoin they said that he likes you.

    but if your mean or people around you have been me to it

    then it doesnt want to be touched.
