We've been working on getting my Icelandic Horse mare, Cookie, to "talk to me", by making a waffling / nickering noise through her nostrils, when she gets the American Sign Language sign "talk" as her cue.
She is not consistent yet, and offers her most favorite behavior that is on cue, which is "yawn" (using the ASL sign for "Y"), and she also paws, which is one of those behaviors that was not taught to her, she just does it (and we don't like it!). But she's getting better at "talking"; we'll keep practicing. :-)
(You may have to listen closely to hear her, or turn up the volume.)
