@Riven @Odd just to add to this:
You might also perceive it differently from your companion when they see/smell/hear/taste/touch, because a horse's brain is wired to perceive the world one way, and a companion's another. Just like as humans we cannot see the UV light birds can, so even if you were bonded to a bird, your body simply cannot sense things the same way the bird does, bond or not!
If it was like beast master and you became the bird through the bond, then you could see the UV light, but as Odd pointed out that's not the way it functions.
