horse sounds

Whinnies and snorts

Horse sounds include the whinny (a high-pitched vocalization for greeting or calling), the nicker (a soft, low rumbling showing affection or anticipation of food), and the snort (a sharp exhale through the nostrils signaling alertness or alarm).

Horses also squeal during confrontations and blow air gently when relaxed.
