Spooky Senses: How Horses See and Hear

Find out why horses spook, then design a fair test of a genuinely spooky object.

Horses live in a world of wide-angle vision, swivelling ears and enormous smell. This project explores blind spots, monocular and binocular vision, hearing, whiskers and why a wheelie bin can be terrifying. Your child will map a horse's field of view, run a gentle sensory experiment and write up their findings like a scientist.
