Hi Ridecamp,

Want to hear some opinions on this one:
I rode an Arab/Paso cross mare for years(still have her!!) I rode her in
several endurance rides many years ago. Once she was in extremely good
endurance shape (several 50 milers, some top ten,,,pretty good for a gaited
horse, huh?!!), she developed what I can only call a nervous tick. She would
flip her bottom lip constantly. That, combined with the fact that she would
loose her appetite in heavy training, convinced me that this was not all
that fun for her, so I retired her from endurance. Anyway, I'm now riding
her daughter, who is like her in some ways, but much better in most ways.
Occasionally, when we are in a situation where there is a lot of outside
stress(i.e: lots of commotion, 4-wheelers, dogs barking, etc.) she will
exhibit the same lip-flipping behaviour. I always do what I can to de-fuse
the situation, but I'm just curious if anyone else has an experience with
this "lip-flipping"

Maybe it's just me????
