definitely would not go the real route... i own horses. you don't want to hold your wife's life in your hands when this 1000 pound animal goes feral. one misplaced leg/hoof could brutally injure .......

as far as sounds.. they dont make much for sounds. a bit of changed breathing is about it. the mare squeals a bit.. .but the stallion is fairly quiet, so i wouldnt worry about the tape if you cant find it.
