But do have someone (vet, dentist, etc.) look at his teeth.Sun, 21 Feb 2010 22:38:13 GMTride.to.the.skyRE: Docky Boy always has his tounge sticking out!http://board.youngrider.com/Topic1329557-15-1.aspxoh gosh thats so sad^^<br><br>anyways yea i'd had the dentist come check him out.Thu, 18 Feb 2010 16:14:01 GMThead.in.the.cloudsRE: Docky Boy always has his tounge sticking out!http://board.youngrider.com/Topic1329557-15-1.aspxI rode a horse once that always stuck his tounge out. He did it because when he was young, he was put in a really hard bit with someone with hard hands. Initially, he stuck it out because he was avoiding the pain, but eventually the nerves in it died. Now it is just always hanging out because he can't feel or control it.Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:36:52 GMThorsinaround911RE: Docky Boy always has his tounge sticking out!http://board.youngrider.com/Topic1329557-15-1.aspxTeeth issue, or I swear some just do it to be cute.

He probably has sharp edges somewhere or something, that are hurting him when he holds his tongue normally. If his teeth are fine, then I'd have the vet take a look at him.?<BR>If he only did it while you were riding, then I'd say to change his bit, because horses do that when their bit doesn't fit, or is causing them pain, or you've overbitted them with something too harsh, but if he does it all of the time, then it's probably more of a health issue I would think.Thu, 18 Feb 2010 07:26:17 GMTRayzeeDocky Boy always has his tounge sticking out!http://board.youngrider.com/Topic1329557-15-1.aspxHI <P>Ok well this horse thatI ride well we a really good relationship with eachother always has his tounge sticking out even when we are riding.
