My concern for a horse.

Pet Prescription Without Vet can also provide some insights on how to care for animals with specific needs. It's always good to ensure the horse is well and comfortable.

Thank you for your post.The horse hasn't been in the field the last few times I've driven past,probably a couple of weeks.As stated earlier I don't think for a second it was being deliberately mistreated but I was concerned how it was almost constantly shaking it's head as if the hood was agitating it,and also whether the horse was able to see through the hood or not.If/when it reappears it continues to show signs of irritation I will get a welfare check on it.
