You may be surprised to learn that this funny face actually has a purpose!

The horse uses this procedure to take pheromones (smells) to the vomeronasal organ where they can ‘read’ the chemicals more accurately.

They will tend to use this with unusual smells and tastes, like when we offer them new treats and foods.
