Horses have an excellent sense of smell, which they use for various purposes, including identifying familiar individuals, detecting predators, and locating food and water sources. While there is no specific distance that a horse can smell, it is known that horses can detect odors from long distances away.

In general, horses can detect odors up to several miles away, depending on various factors such as wind direction, weather conditions, and the strength and type of the smell. For example, horses can detect the scent of a predator, such as a mountain lion, from a distance of up to two miles away.
