Great article! I think music is a good idea, especially if you have a feisty horse.

I think music, at times. When I go to the barn, I might humm Beethoven or sing a lullaby. It calms both me AND the horses.

Very cool article. There was an article published in California about 6 years ago that showed playing rock and roll to Corn helped it to grow and seemed to shy away infections of the plant. I found that amusing. But, never underestimate the power of music! Hoo-rah!

Great job! I've never known if it was actually good for the horses, or if it didn't effect them at all.

I had a mare that I used to ride that was relatively neurotic--don't know if it had to do with being a trail-ride horse or not (although she was a guide horse) but she would just have these sporatic moments where she'd try to back off switch backs, or trails when the horse in front of her wasn't moving fast enough (Yes saddle fit was checked). I discovered if I hummed, or sang while I rode her, she'd calm down and deal with being stuck dragging the ride. Poor Bambi horse.

I knew someone who did and experiment like this with PLANTS and they found that plants grow larger, faster, and prettier if you play classical music. They had all the same plant but in different rooms with some listening to screamo, some listening to Justin Bieber, some listening to country, some listening to 80's disco music, some listening to classical music, you get the point. The screamo plant died and the classical music plant grew largest. Crazy right?

SO I am thinking it would work for horses. Not the growing part but it would bring out the best in them and help with their performance in the arena. I think music should be played in my barn!!
