This message is from: "Bert Van Loon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I agree that horses love music. I used to be a classical musician and for fun I taught my Fjord Takla to come when I whistle the first three notes of " Maria " from Westside Story. If she is slow I just enjoy whistling myself a little concert. My little minnie Wee Charlee Dickens will happily trundle down from the top of the steep pasture when I whistle the five note theme of "Papagano" from Mozart's The Magic Flute.
I had observed the amount of syllables in the very melodic nickers that the horses would sound and found that mine often employed a sequence of two, three and five.So heck, why go for a regular whistle? Well, now everyone knows that perhaps I should make an effort to interact with more people but I have to say that I prefer my horses.
