whinnying
Equine vocal sound
Whinnying is the high-pitched, vibrating cry a horse makes—a sound of recognition, greeting, or anticipation.
Horses whinny when they see familiar people or other horses, or when they expect food.
The word can apply to similar sounds: She heard him whinnying with laughter in the next room.
