Today,
I was driving down the road, and I passed the ranch near my house. A beautiful black and white horse was
standing in the field, chomping away on some grass…with a bag over her head. To be more accurate, it was more like a mask covering
her eyes, rather than her whole head. It’s
not cold outside, being triple digits in the Texas heat, so I could only assume
that she was doing it to block out her sight and sharpen her other skills. Her senses of hearing and smell where
becoming keener with the deprivation of her sight. And there was only one logical explanation
for her to do this…she was training to be a ninja!
In all reality, these masks are apparently to
protect the horse’s eyes from flies that constantly irritate them. Most of them actually have meshing around the
eyes, so that the horse can still, in fact, see. Personally, I think this is just what they
tell the public to hide the secret training of equine ninjas!
