Dear Keith... Tuesday, October 17, 2006 Hi, I would like to ask your advice about something my horse does, He tends to push on my arm with his head, he does not push hard, but then I am not expecting it , I get off balance, he usually does this when I am standing next to him, talking to someone or just looking at him, some people say it is disrespect, others say he wants to play, I do not feel threatened in anyway by his action, Its like he wants my attention, please give me your thoughts about this. Thank You Denise G
