Well fancy that! Horses recognise each other. There's a revelation......
Why was the presenter wearing those clothes to go into a field? It's not the horses intelligence that needs examining...........

Why did the woman with the boom feel the need to go into a field with her handbag? Was it to bash the horses around the head in self defense if they should wander over to sniff her for a polo, or was it to pay them for a good story. Hilarious. To be fair at least she had wellies on!! Incidently why did she think horses didn't recognise each other in the first place?

Hence my inclusion of the question mark in the title! I wonder how much the study cost too . . . .
I laughed at the presenter . . . the fields are rather reminiscent of mine at the moment but I certainly don't wear by best black coat when I'm up there!

You'd think they might just ask some horse people, wouldn't you?
If I as a human can tell what the ranges of whinnies mean, I'm convinced that horses can..........

the 'horse handler' girl seemed a bit amused by it all really.
the girl doing the survey, seemed quite pleased with her findings. i bet she thinks she will be famous now that she has discovered that horses recognise each others voices. no sh1t sherlock!!
I wonder how much time and money has gone into this amazing piece of research .

How do all horses whinnies sound the same?
I have 7 and they all sound different and the horses on there sounded different as well. We have one that moo's it can't actually whinny or neigh properly! The other squeals like a pig! If I can tell which horse is calling me then I'm sure the horses can tell!
The most pointless test I've ever seen. They should be putting that money into sweet itch research.

Brilliant! What an incredibly pointless piece of work. I particularly like the way it is justified by her saying 'it is important to verify these things scientifically'....hmmmm....I reckon it's important to verify things like potential cures for life threatening diseases scientifically, not obvious things like 'horses recognise each other'!!
I am also astounded that they managed to get so many horses to vocalise like that - I can count on one hand the number of times I've heard my horse neigh/whinny/wicker in the 3 years I've owned him, and even on a huge yard you rarely hear them call to each other.

They probably took its friend away, that usually does it
Or they could come and talk to Ernie, he talks to me every time i walk towards his stable, he's a very talkative chap, although it's never a neigh, more a wicker, like he's talking under his breath at me, usually something along the lines of "you're late!"

I was considering contacting the university to offer the mind-boggling bit of information that dog barks are all totally different too. I had seven dogs at one point and could identify each of them by their bark . . . . . .
