Horses can definitely smell the fear of humans, as confirmed by a scientific study published in the journal Plos One. According to the results, if a person experiences this sensation when he is near a horse, he will be able to detect it simply through the smell of that person, which modifies the behavior of these animals.
The horses can feel fear of people by smelling, becoming more likely to starve and more cautiously face the frightened people, showing a new study.
Previous research has shown that puppies can smell the stress people are experiencing. Now, research has found that horses can smell people's fear. If you are standing near a horse when you are feeling fear, they can detect it simply by your scent, which will also change their behavior and physiological responses.
