Can horses see in colour

Answer 1

Not really. They are mainly afraid of 1. things that make noise 2. things that move 3. things that move AND make noise. Color doesn't affect whether things move and/or make noise. Horses will be just as scared of a white plastic bag as they are of a brown plastic bag. And if you can take a white plastic bag and desensitize them to it, and they will be desensitized to a brown plastic bag as well. Color doesn't really make a difference

Probably not. Horses can see blue, green, and yellow, but they do not see read very well.

Of course, green grass and trees is what horses are used to seeing, and of course the blue sky. Since they see these colors all the time, it is hard to see how they could be afraid of those colors.

Horses can't see red very much, so it is hard to see how horses could be afraid of a color that they almost cannot see.

Let's just say that horses most likely are not afraid of color, by itself.
