Whilst we were having lunch at the Cardiff Scan Club rally yesterday, a horse that was passing through the car park where we sat shied and was only brought under control with difficulty by the rider. She said that the horse could 'Feel the vibrations from the metal detectors' and asked everyone to turn them off so she could get past.

I've never heard of this before, have any of you? I've detected near plenty of horses in my time and if anything they've been attracted to me rather than been repelled (I have this effect on horses and women  ;D ).

I recorded part of the incident on the video I shot of the rally which I shall be uploading onto the site tonight, so look out for it.

Load of rubbish Geoff, I thinks shes wrong there.

My first Farm site I ever got permission on is a horse stables and they would be constantly standing next to me or nudging my arm for treats whilst I was detecting. Never bothered any of them - there were at least 20 or so.

I would agree that if anything it attracts them

Looking forward to seeing the video

Cheers

i dont know where some people get these ideas!!!! ill say its bull****, ive detected on land with horses and ill agree i think it attracts them, because every time i had a signal i would start digging and notice the same horse would be there stalking me  ;D geoff we must have the same charm !!!! ;) women wont leave me alone !!!!  :D

Its a load of horseshit. ;D

hmmm she didn't have one of those womens things in place did she,  lol :o ::).
iv'e never had any probs myself,  only trying to get into my backpack if they smelt apples,
 the cows are ok too.

i carry polo mints..that attracts them......but horses seem to like me...they make a beeline for me...must be my smell...lmao !...byron

I'm sure they could feel the vibrations from my feet when im running away from them, I dont trust the bl*#dy things, there better off the other side of the fence.

Animals hearing is much more sensitive than ours,  it was proberbly picking up the sound waves especially if there were a few switched on.
 could have played hell with his head,

ha ha ha,  yeah some of these so called music sounds can do thAT Phil,  like a lot of that artificial  music that some of the kids play in their cars  ect hey, O.M.G

ohh yeah Phil,  like these bliddy soaps on the box.

 My ex wife used to change after watching them,  the way she acted after,
 she'd sort of changed into these characters  ??? and her moods would change.
spooky it was like they were taking her over,  o.m.g.
 lol,  Alan

You should have encouraged her to watch "Sex in the city".  ;D

narr she would have been off all over the place  tee hee,  hmm,  i think she was anyhow, lol perhaps she did watch it when i wasn't in there,  lol.

Just to confirm general opinion - I regularly detect in a field with horses and never had a problem with any of them getting upset. Problem is normally keeping them out of the way!
