A university has published research results showing that plants emit ultrasound when they are stressed.
It is possible that animals that are sensitive to the ultrasonic waves can hear them. What I found strange about horses in pastures was that they often stayed in the same place in a large pasture, and they preferred to eat grass outside the fences.
Maybe it can distinguish between healthy grass and not so healthy grass (e.g. grass that has been trampled too much and is not healthy).
There is also data that suggests that talking to plants helps them grow better.

If it is effective on plants, I expect it will be even more effective on horses, and I believe there will be some kind of difference between horses that have met many people from a young age and been directly supported by them and those that have not.
If you have the chance to meet a foal camera girl in person, give her lots of petting and lots of talking. It might lead to some amazing results.
Speaking of which, the white horse that won the maiden race the other dayGorgeousHe was also solicited for investment as a yearling through a share-share club, and may have been exposed to various investors from the time he was a year old.
Since it is a racehorse, it would be a bit awkward to say negative things like "Don't push yourself," "It's okay to come last if you're in good health," or "Don't get hurt."
Messages like "Grow big," "Eat lots and get strong," "Run lots," "Stay healthy," "You're cool," and "I'm rooting for you" are all very welcome.
