Welcome to Gaia! ::

to hard to explain but my mare has this "oi you people left me get your but back here immediatly" sound when shes alone in the bush its really funny and umm when she was at the paddock for a week with human contact once or twice a day she would call to me when she saw me and nicker *happy dance my baby loves me*

my mare has it timed exactly how long it takes for me from tying her up on the side of the barn, to go inside, get her grain and supplements, and come back out. a couple times i havent been about to find the right size of scoop, and she whinnies right about when i should have been coming around the corner. lol, its pretty funny. if i start walking back out (its on gravel so she can hear me, but she cant see me), if i stop walking she'll whinnie, too. lol

Fear.

It's a snort, and then perhaps a short, grunting nicker, and they raise their head up high, quivering and stomping their feet, moving backwards or away. There's a difference between surprise and fear.

There's nothing more understadable in a horse than fear. You can FEEL it.


And then joy. Huffing breaths, pounding hooved, muscles quivering with the anticipation of the run.

Those two are the clearest.

well..one time I was riding a horse and he farted, and i suppose thats clear that he had bad gas xp but i dont get to spend time around horses much at all, so..

XDDDDDDD

Comfey does that!

I know THAT one well! Only Susie did it to me as opposed to another horse XD

When we were moving from our old place on a hill directly across the road from where we are now, we were always down on the new lot working on something, preparing to move the trailer and barn etc., and Susie would be up on the hill in her paddock.. We'd call her name and wave and MAN she got excited, hahaha. It was a really high, loud whinny.. As if she knew she had to yell for us to hear her xd

And usually when I head to the barn from the house, she'll see or hear me and let out a low whinny, sometimes I don't hear it but I see her nostrils quiver. She's like "Hey, what's up. Got food?" biggrin

Hah. When Cheyenne got injured, the stable owner took care of her foot when I wasn't around, but then one day she just forgot about Cheyenne in the barn and went to teach a lesson with my girl standing all alone in the middle of the barn with an owie foot ._. I walked into the barn and she SCREAMED like "GET YOUR a** OVER HERE I'M LONELY AND WANT A HUG!"
