Time everyone with horses did something along these lines for their charges instead of keeping them in solitary. The groundswell for better horse welfare is welling up.
that is very interesting to watch - I was just thinking about how important smell is for horses...I mean they sniff at each other...so what happens if I change my washing powder and smell different? Will they notice and care?
Research proves horses have a keen and efficient sense of smell. Especially necessary when you are prey! I'm sure they notice whatever you smell of, but their response will vary taking all things into consideration. For example if I smell of a dead animal (because I buried a bird I found dead. I don't kill animals, nor do I eat them) my horses are inquisitive and sniff the parts of me that smell of the putrification, but are unafraid. However, I've seen them baulk at an aggressive butcher!
@MissHeatherAnn1 Horses can tell we are predators because we are upright creatures, our eyes are on the front of our head rather than the sides, and of course our scent, a mixture of all we ingest and where we live. Your scent may not repel a horse, but your way of being around him might. XJ

@Marenlene Someone once told me that a horse knows I'm a predator because he can smell that burger I had last night
