Hey, in my case when my horse turns her head back and touches my foot she is 
asking for a treat.  When I get on I usually have a pellet in my hand and I 
feed it to her from the right side.  Started doing it to keep her from 
spinning out from under me when I mounted.  I carry pellets in a pouch on 
the front of my saddle.  So if we are standing around resting or not doing 
much she will give my foot a nudge for a pellet.  Silly, silly girl, or 
smart, smart girl.  :-)
