Flehmen: The Horse with the Upturned Lip By Kentucky Equine Research Staff Â· September 23, 2008 Flehmen is the term used to describe the behavior in which a horse extends its neck, raises its head, and inhales as it rolls its upper lip back, displaying its front teeth. Expressing this behavior is called flehming or flehmening. Why do horses exhibit the flehmen response? In an article published in Compendium Equine, Dr. Sharon Crowell-Davis explains that horses display the flehmen response to facilitate transfer of inhaled scent molecules (pheromones and possibly some other substances) into the vomeronasal organ (VNO), a specialized chemosensory structure found in many mammals.
