I'm sure many of you have already discovered this, but NEVER, NEVER leave a
car or truck unattended out in a pasture with horses, even for a short time.
You will come back to find paint stripped from the hood (in particular) and
deep tooth marks in the metal.  We always thought maybe the horses were
getting salt (we live near the ocean), even though they have salt blocks.  Or
perhaps it's just fun for them, but it's horribly destructive to the vehicle.
A word to the wise....
