As title says if a horse was said to hear wind what would this mean??

Am I thinking about this too much???

Many thanks
 
Making a noise when working, im guessing its the hollow noise but wanted to check with everyone else. Brain is too tired to focus right now
 
Ok so my mare makes a noise when in the upper paces, certainly at a gallop. she has a very muffled neigh, think Marge Simpson on too many fags!
I've never found it to affect her performance, Although it can be a little bit worrying for others, I just reassure them she's fine. I suppose it depends, what job you need your horse to do. I've done endurance rides with her and she's always been more than up to the challenge.
 
I have spotted a horse for sale which has this listed as a reason to reduce his price. I have had little experience this noise myslef, people have sometimes told me its because my horses sheath needs cleaning but its always kept clean. Like my horses to be able to do a bit of everything xc, sj, odd dressage test, hacking, odd show, bit of everything.
 
I am not sure its just a phrase I havent really come across on an advert for a horse I like the look of. Which said 'Can slightly hear wind in extended canter hence very low price.'
 
It can mean it's a highblower (no problem) or it can mean it has problems with its wind...

Generally, I've been taught, if you can hear the exhale you're fine but if you can hear the inhale you're not...
 
Try laying off the baked beans?

*singularly unhelpful comment, for which you have my sincere apologies, but I've just eaten my weight in haribo and am feeling a bit silly*
