Do your horses hug you?
This sounds weird, and I'm wondering because I know zero about horses except that they're scary.
My uncle had a really rad old appaloosa who would hug me. That horse rocked and was the only non-scary horse I've spent time with. He would gallop across the pasture when he saw me and give me a great big hug by putting his head over my shoulder and tucking his chin down.
I thought he was the only horse who did that, but my friend went to visit her horse today and he greeted her in the same manner.
Is this a normal horse thing that horses do when they greet someone they like? Do they greet other horses they like in that way? Or do only super cool horses do it (my friend's horse is named Strider so he's cool by default )
