I'd stick to worrying about things that really matter. My son, Jeff, is kinda OCD...everything has to be perfectly clean and neat all the time. I mean this kid has to take aloe vera ass wipes with him wherever he goes. He can't just wipe his ass after pooping...he has to wash it. He's a dog lover and has a springer who loves to lick faces.....so that's an exception.
One day I had just finished riding a horse and had just taken off his tack and brushed him down. I gave him a big ole smooch on the muzzle and Jeff says "On the lips? You kiss your horse on the lips??? Jeez dad!" I asked him, "Have you ever smelled a horse with bad breath...ever? You think that's gross, yet your dog licks her ass and vagina and then you let her lick your face?" Why in Gods Green Earth would someone give this post a dislike? Sometimes I sit here and really scratch my head.
yep I have one of "those" people too that randomly dislikes my posts. I have a pretty good idea who it is. Just for the sake of argument I kiss my horses and I also kiss my dogs. During calving season I prefer not to get kissed back from the dogs though.  |

We were up there for the Cowgirl queen contest and the parking lot was about 6-8 blocks from the arena, so we had to ride through the middle of the fair. A group of special needs kids were walking through the area and I had to stop my horse to wait for a traffic jam. One of the special needs kids jumped right in front of my horse, grabbed her face in both hands and planted one square on the nose!
It was a good thing she was used to me doing that!! She didn't even twitch an eyelash!
The leader of the special needs group was appalled and apologetic. I just smiled and said no harm, no foul. I have had several horses that would have thrown their heads and broke the kids nose. Thankful that one time turned out ok! horses and dogs aren't stupid... they just know... (((HUG))) that pony and give her extra treats for that one!
Im not surprised... ;)
My dogs are not normally around children, but my autistic nephew can scream and yell at them and they just adore him, but if a adult comes and yells in my house, they are all over it...
Gotta love animal effect |

I even let little munchkins kiss and love all over my mare. I feel they should get the chance to be able to be next to a horse, even if it's just once in their whole life.
Just my 2 cents. Ditto. What problem did this cause - really? My gelding will stick his face out to be kissed. His breeder taught him that as a baby. She is not going to give your horse any disease, why can't you look at it as maybe it brightened her day to show affection to an animal in this way? You are being WAY over dramatic.
Every baby that Mary has sent us has been a "kisser" .... I love it!
There are several on here that sound like they need to take a lesson in sharing from my pre-schooler...it's not like the lady was begging to take him for a pony ride. |

I let old men whisk broom my horses....does that count??? I've also had parents bring up small children and ask if they can pet the pretty horse. I always say absolutely. I try to teach the kids that kissing horses on the nose is a good thing and good for the heart and soul. I've had many of them look at me like I'm nuts. LOL |

Location: California | I wouldn't care. At least that way someone else is giving him attention and he's not bugging me.
About approaching strangers horses.....I had a couple of drinks one night at a local rodeo. Bozo had made one of his amazing runs. He is my favorite. So Kristie Peterson comes walking by with him. I had just bought a nice tie down. I stopped Kristie Peterson and asked if I could pet Bozo. I wanted some of his sweat to wipe on my tiedown for good luck. I started petting him and I said to her "It's like touching Elvis." She laughed. Nice lady and I still have Bozo's DNA on that tiedown. I never cleaned it. |

She's one of the best! And I bet Bozo could have cared less if you were there or not... I fogged the front of his stall once in OKC... and I think he was WAY less then thrilled but Kristie didn't care at all that I drooled down his stall door...lol
Love that story NonaY |

Doggy kisses are a big no for me too! My dogs will scarf down horse poop like it's filet mignon and there's no way I want that all over my face! I don't mind horse kisses, although they're very uncommon for me. Not too crazy about cow kisses...their tongues are rough! |

Location: Beautiful Pacific Northwest | I have to admit I think I might've done that w/Martha Josey's horse Orange Smash. She was at our rodeo & just hanging at her trailer & we went down to get her autograph & I was so in awe of Orange Smash. I was stuck to him like velcro & THEN she let me hold her little doggy & I think I let him lick my face... It was definetly a "awwwww" moment for me. So I have no problem of letting people pet on my horses & even kiss on them if they want. |

I was at a barrel race and there was a kid there you could tell was horse crazy. I put him on my horse and led him around. I'd of been in seventh heaven if someone had done the same for me at that age. |

I was at a jackpot last summer with 2 horses. I ran one, cooled down and went back to the trailer to get my gelding. I keep a whisk broom in the brush box on my tack door to keep things tidy. When I got back to my trailer there was an older gentleman using the whisk broom brushing my gelding. My gelding looked at me like - mom what the hell is this guy doing?
