H never flaps his lip when working he does it out hunting when he's standing watching he's does not come across as apprehensive he loves hunting but he watches intently and flaps his lip .
In the stable / field he does it when he watches us doing things like rugging up for turnout or when he's tacked up waiting to come out his stable .
My groom also thinks he's learning to use it to get attention in the stable as we tend to go and give him a stroke when we see it ,he's got a huge floppy lip and it looks cute .
I Would say it likely a horse that does it ridden is showing stress but have know one mare where it was defiantly when she was through and most rhymic and in the grove with you she gently flapped her lip in rhythm .
