What sound does a horse make?

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

When you're telling your child what horses "say", do you use "neigh" or an alternative word/sound?

We make a clucking noise with our tongue on the roof of our mouths. After a recent convo., I'm thinking this might just be regional/part of my ethnic background.

    That's what I think. I've always done both neigh and the tongue clicking. Everyone thought I was crazy when I taught DD1 the tongue clicking for horse, but that's what I've always known!

    FWIW, I'm originally from Belgium and that's what my parents taught us... well, that and "heee heeee" instead of "neigh"

    We use whinneee! With your version, are you going for the sound of hooves clip-clopping? I like it!

    Yay! Someone else does this. I've never heard of "hee hee", but I guess the clucking is supposed to sound like a horse walking/galloping on a hard surface. There are LOTS of horse and buggies around here.

    I say 'neigh', but he just looks at me like I have two heads. Cows moo, cats and dogs both meow, and everything else apparently roars, so 'neigh' doesn't compute. LOL

    DD says "neigh", so we must have taught her that. And by "we", I mean daycare.

    we tongue click (nicker) to call a horse.  and it says neigh.   DD learned to click her tongue to call them first.  Learned it from my mom who is from OK.

    I've never heard of doing this, but it sounds like the nickering sound that a pp mentioned.

    Who knew there could be so many variations for one animal?

    DH always looks at me like I have two heads because I love to make zebra sounds.   Oh and as far as DD is concerned hippos moo.  You can try and tell her otherwise but to her they moo.  Cats say "Ow" dogs say "fffff"  and almost everything else says "RAWR!!"
