I never thought of it that way, but that seems to be the perfect explanation for what happens with our Fjords when we meet other breeds on the trail. Usually these other horses are "pretty busy" doing something with their bodies - occasionally we have met a very calm "other" horse that doesn't seem to bother them. We notice that they are not bothered in the least by mules - even very large mules - probably because of the similar body language. We just never thought of the body language angle - probably because we are humans - but it does make sense. I'll be more observant this next year and see if the theory seems to check out.
