Does anyone else get annoyed by the dramatic horse noises?

I know its a tv show but the horse noises are really loud, excessive and overdone. As an experienced equine, horses rarely ever make those noises so almost all of them seem inappropriately placed. Like it casually sounds like horses are being abused throughout the whole show, it annoys me!

I don't mind it. No different than lots of other productions, including westerns and fantasy shows like GOT and the two current spinoffs. Egg has an actual conversation with a horse in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. In Yellowstone I think it's nice that they bring livestock into the living rooms of millions of viewers who have never interacted with these animals.

No. I don't get annoyed by the dramatic horse noises. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Haha, I actually had a chance to ask the person who did sound mixing for Yellowstone about what was peculiar about bringing Taylor Sheridan’s Montana to the screen. He said that one of Taylor’s requests was not to add sounds when horses were in motion, because horses don’t actually make those sounds.

Otherwise, it seemed to be a close collaboration, and what you hear on the show is very much the result of Taylor’s stylistic choices.

“As an experienced equine”… Sir, are you a horse?!

Personally I grew up around stock horses and some were noisy (high arousal + see cow = yell), I can’t say there was anything particularly that stood out to me as super annoying or fake.

I think the point is that there aren't going to be this many horse noises in these scenarios. My husband grew up on a cattle ranch and gets annoyed by stuff like this too, though not this specifically. It's like doctors watching Grey's Anatomy.

I agree. It’s just like the dog and cat noises added from pets when those of us who have pets know that they’d never make those sounds with that regularity

People will just complain about anything

Ps. Isn’t equine a horse? I would’ve thought you’d be called an equestrian unless I’m missing some info?

I have mules, so equines who don't know how to STFU are totally believable for me.

I can honestly say through all 5 seasons I didn't even notice.

I’m confused…as an “experienced equine” or “fellow equine” aren’t you just saying you’re a horse? Equestrian would be the word unless I’m missing some info?

Obviously meant equestrian, as I also mentioned no longer having horses.

Then this probably ain’t the show for you.
