"I have no idea what this has to do with photography"

Richard it's obvious, they have photographic memories, Panoramic lens and
iris, 330 degree field of view, fix focused lenses, simultaneous near far
focus, variable iris, internal lens shades, Rods and cones in the retina for
color sensitivity, and not to mention duel processors, stereophonic hearing,
a swivel ball head, an with my horses as soon as you pull out a camera they
line up shoulder to shoulder for a posse shot.

    Horses are "prey" animals and have a very strong startle 
reflex. Survival can be a matter of reacting quickly and 
running. When you wash or curry a horse you must talk to it 
and keep touching it especially when getting behind it so it 
knows who is there. Otherwise you may get kicked. Kicking is 
about the only effective defense a horse has against the 
sort of animals who prey on them (large cats etc).
    One way of telling prey animals from hunters is the 
position of the eyes: hunters have eyes in the front of the 
head and stereo vision (dogs, cats, people); prey animals 
have eyes on the sides of their heads and panoramic vision. 
An animal like a horse, a deer, a cow, or a rabbit can see 
360degrees by making only a small movement of its heads but 
have no depth perception and often can not see straight in 
front of it. Limiting the field of view of a horse by 
putting blinkers or blinders on it will often calm a nervous 
horse because it can't see movement around it which may 
cause startling.
    I have no idea what this has to do with photography.
