P.S. Horses do weird things that we don't expect!!!
Sticking out the tongue is a nervous habit that some horses develop as a result of stress or training. The other thing that you are observing, the flehmen posture, is a normal response to a strong smell, especially in stallions and geldings. In rare instances, however, excessive displays of this posture can mean the horse is colicking- we had a stallion on the breeding farm I used to work on who would do exactly that on occaision. It can be, and often is, a sign of sexual arousal,especially when a stallion who is teasing or is about to breed does it. If your horses do it when you are around them, it means they smell something on you that they like. With women, the menstrual cycle can trigger this behavior,especially in stallions and colts. It is usually less problematic for men, although I have seen stallions do this with them as well. Hope this helps.
When horses are licking and moving their mouth when working is because they are trying to understand what you are asking from them. This is just their way of thinking.
