Not even a problem as such, but my horse has started trying to chew me. He used to like to lick my hands but lately he has started chewing my hands, arms, legs..etc. Its not agressive in anyway but its everytime i go into his stable. Any ideas :confused::)
 
That is strange lol
I have sort of the same problem, my welsh D filly tries to eat my boots, wellies, whatever the hell it is I have on my feet, she's obsessed with my footwear lol.
Velcro is her particular favourite, she rips open all the velcro fastenings on my long boots.
But if I've plain ones on, she just tries to eat them.

I would suspect that whatever the answer is to your horse will also be to mine :D
 
Puz nibbles me when I'm grooming her - she grooms me back. They do it to each other in the field. Otherwise have you been giving him treats?!
 
Seren - my little welshie - has a big thing for licking too, she even tried to lick the farriers bum last time he came - mortified is not the word! I thought she was just a bit strange! x
 
Probably just does it cos he's a cob but animals do like the salt they get from our skin (well from our sweat really....eugh!) so maybe try a salt lick see if it helps at all, certainly wont hurt!!!!
 
A welsh C I ride is very mouthy. Anything that is in reach will be in his mouth. Hands, reins, lead ropes, other horses manes and rugs etc. He doesn't bite but just likes to softly chew on things. He has had his teeth done recently which I thought might help but he is still the same....maybe a welshie thing? :)
