	My horse does this weird thing with her mouth all the time. Sometimes when she is just standing there, sometimes when I ride her. She just stretches her head a bit and curls her lip. I had the vet check her for teeth issues and he gave her the clear. Any ideas what else it could be??

	Ok I'm glad it doesn't seem too off the wall. I didn't think it was a pain issue, more of her being a pain in the @$$! lol

Uh....never mind Posts: 2696 Location: Midwest Farmer's Daughter: Central Illinois	My gelding sucks on his tongue after he drinks. My friend's mare sucks on hers after she gets done eating her grain. They're all just weird habits.

Expert Posts: 2121 Location: The Great Northwest	I had a geldig that would stand and pop his lips together which got annoying. He only did this when I think he was just bored. It was something he did to let stress out maybe. Way better than chewing or cribbing I always felt.

A Big Ditto! Posts: 3600 Location: Jasper, Tx	I had a gelding that would do this and he would make fart noises at the same time. It never bothered me until one day I was at a rodeo and I was sitting on him behind the roping boxes and a calf roper came in front of him and bent over to pick up his roping box just as my horse decided to do his fart sound...well needless to say his buddies hassled him pretty good and I just simply backed away snickering quietly.....
