"Horses are not totally colorblind, but they do not see the range of colors we see. There are two kinds of photoreceptors in the eye that allows animals to see colors: cones and rods. Rods allow them to see in low light conditions and cones are sensitive to color. Horses have just two types of cones, whereas humans have three. Reducing the number to two greatly reduces the number of colors horses see. They see mostly in the yellow, brown, and gray ranges."

Horses see in color, but their color vision is more limited compared to humans. They may have difficulty distinguishing between certain colors, particularly shades of red and green.

Can horses see in colour?

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.
