What does a horse sound like when they are mad?
Angry horses often use body language to show they are frustrated or mad. In body language, a mad horse will pin its ears against the back of its head and often show the white part of their eyes and bare their teeth. Occasionally, an angry horse might swish its tail harshly and roughly from side to side (though this may be confused with swishing flies away). However, the sound that an angry horse makes can be a multitude of different things. It might be squealing loudly or heavily snorting. Nonetheless, if you are trying to figure out whether a horse is mad or not, your best bet would be to look at the horse's body language.
