I played a youtube video of a hunting horn to my gelding and he went nuts! His head went up and he started spinning in his stable, pawing the ground and snorting. He's from Ireland. Do you think this is a good indication if he's hunted or not?
 
If our guys hear a hunting horn, then the ones that have hunted already react, the ones that haven't yet hunted, don't - although they do look quite alert at the others' snorting!
 
I was scrolling Facebook whilst in loan pone’s stable the other day and a video of hounds unloading (noisily) off a lorry started playing; I couldn’t stop it in time and she spun round and looked directly at me with ears pricked and THE most hilarious facial expression. Wish I’d caught it on camera, but I couldn’t even get the video to stop playing, let alone get my camera app open in time ? she’s def hunted and lets you know if the hunt is out.
 
It sends mare a bit dolally - as demonstrated by mum having radio 4 on ib the yard during the last day of legal hunting.

We know she's never been, the one that has been isn't too bothered.
 
I was in a showing class at Hartpury and every time we went round some nice person had a hunting horn on his mobile phone , he thought it was funny.
 
Thank you all I felt really mean he got himself all wound up knocked over a wheelbarrow and acted like a big idiot! I'm glad to know it's not just mine now!
 
Plaiting Mr B up to go dressaging with the Sunday Archers omnibus on the radio. Brief sound of hunting horn and Mr B was on his toes. He came off the box at the venue with speed, ears pricked and was clearly looking for hounds. Did a good test though despite his disappointment! They don't forget, he'd been hunted as a six year old with a six year gap from seeing hounds.
