Question
hello sir, why horses dont allow strangers to touch their ears. whereas they allow the strangers to touch their head and stroke.

Answer
The head, the belly and the legs are the most vulnerable parts to a horse. They are very protective of these parts. The ears a most sensitive. A horse is a prey animal and will protect those parts. But you can get a horse to allow you to touch those parts of it's body.
