Find out what sounds are commonly found around stables that your horse hears but you don't. Horses hear into the ultrasonic range (up to 33,000 HZ whereas humans only hear up to 20,000 HZ). Wildlife biologist Julia Ersan went to a Northern California barn with an ultrasonic microphone to record high frequency sounds that horses are often exposed to. Turns out there is a plethora of environmental noise happening that may cause your horse to look or spook at what humans often describe as "nothing." Also featured are physiologist David Marlin, equine veterinarian and behaviorist Gemma Pearson and eventing trainer and Fellow of the British Horse Society, Nick Gauntlett.
