Wow!  Been there, done that.  I've seen people who have their horse's hackamore actually across it's nostrils in effect cutting off the horse's air.  I've wrestled with myself about what to do, if anything.  Finally talked to a trainer about it and he advised that the only way to help someone if IF THEY ASK FOR HELP.  Then you are free to advise.  It's very frustrating when you know better and want to help the horse.
