Abstract

The invention relates to a visual aid (50), and more particularly, but not exclusively the invention relates to a visual aid for horses. The visual aid comprises first and second lateral portions (50a, 50b) that are adapted to be worn by a horse. In use the first portion (50a) is located on a lateral side of the head of the horse in front of the left eye of the horse; and the second portion (50b) is located on a lateral side of the head of the horse in front of the right eye of the horse. The result is that the eyes of the horse are drawn towards a distant fixation point of focus, between a virtual frame defined by the lateral portions, and so avoiding the problem of the horse having to lower its head, in order to see and thereby reducing muscle strain on the horse's eyes and neck.
