| No idea why but I had two geldings always do it after the run as I am stopping them.
Both fast horses, and both did it every run |

Location: Pacific Northwest | Are there horses standing by the outgate? I've never had a horse do that or seen one do that, but I would assume they were nickering at the other horses. But who knows, animals are strange sometimes haha. |

| Mine would do it because he was buddy sour. He always looked for his hauling buddy when he came out of that alleyway.  |

It prolly translates into 'Eat my dust guys, Beat that one'.... |

Location: Okemah,OK | We had a bulldogging horse that would do it when the guys came off on a steer (I hazed so I heard it up close and personal) but he would buck if they didn't get it the hole. Especially if they half climbed off and then scrambled back on. I always chalked it up to him being happy they were both doing their job :) |

| Check an make sure your horse is not bleeding. I have seen several who nicker r blow out there nose after a run who are bleeding. You may not see blood come out nostrils but have a vet scope them within 12 hours to find out. |
