In my area, annual emergency siren tests involve two soundings, each three minutes long. The horses REALLY dislike those - they run around the pasture in big circles!
Horses and animals out in the open during an electrical storm are just as much at risk as any of the rest of us. Seems like a safer place would be in a barn.
Safer? Sure. But not everyone has a barn. Plenty of animals are kept with access to run-in style shelters, and will often ignore them in the rain anyway.
@@DaveJohnson42 I love how mellow thier reaction is. But the second the plastic bag comes out or the fly spray bottle they think they are in mortal danger 🤣

Horses aren't like that. They are outdoor animals and don't run and hide from the rain. They'd rather stand out in the weather than run into a building like people do. A little rain doesn't bother them.
@@GV5 It's a real thing - If a horse stays the right (or perhaps "wrong") amount of wet for long enough, a fungus can start developing, usually on the back, but theoretically, anywhere on the body that stays moist enough. Think "Extra-strength athlete's foot or jock-itch", only on a horse's back, rather than between your toes or on your junk. (I'd have to look it up to be certain, but it might even be the same fungus involved - I do know for certain that the same antifungal drugs are used to treat both conditions)
“ oops.... okay sweetheart... maybe we should move over this way a bit.”

these sirens are big idiocy

You are absolutely correct.

If given the choice, most horses would be put in an open pasture than in their shelter
Beautiful horses!
4 seconds between lightning and thunder = about 1.5 km away, not 7 km.
Did the step to the left shuffle and kept eating. 😁
I guess they didn't see the flash, did they? Too busy eating, LOL XD
They were hungry :)

Third horse gives zero f@ck
“Can we come inside now?”
Lol one decided to space apart to reduce chances of being struck, mates like "but I'm scared" and moves closer 🤣
Why are they not in their barn? At risk being out there.
scary, food, scary, food, I choose food
Those horses really hear the thunder!!
They should be shut inside the barn during such storms but with someone watching out from the house in case the barn gets struck.
You should take them in
Not my horses, not my property
Pretty nice side pass.
Frau Blücher!
😂
"WTF Wilbbbbber!!"
"Al Gore said there would be a lot of Thunder."

do they have a roof where they could hide if it rains or when they are scared?
CVG ANASS I guess they could have gone back to the barn
@@DaveJohnson42 ok they have a barn? awesome

@@DoubleDogDare54 i didnt know that lol thx dud
@@cvganass5133 pretty common sense considering that long before we tamed a majority of them, they used to live in the wild
Probability of hitting is low...
Have you seen that video of the coq getting struck
But never zero ...
Now its famous
Why are they not in the barn this IS NOT GOOD PARENTING

they should be indoors
The horses where like. Oh geez you know what lets move this way.
Poor horses are soaked.
They can get rain rot.
What bad owners.
horses can be wet LMAO did you forget theyre animals? as long as they dont stay soggy for a long period of time theyll be fine.
tf is rain rot. Never heard of an animal that can’t go out in the rain, would’ve been napped off by natural selection already
Sorry, never mind then.

@@Ferd414 Oh damn. Well then I stand corrected
It wasn’t that close.
