This was a disturbing site. Anna should have been riding somewhere down the hill but here she was, outside the front door and riding perilously close to her car. Something was plainly wrong.
What had happened was that her glasses had fallen off. Without them she could ride up to ask for help but had little chance of dismounting and finding them. A desperate search in poor light followed. They weren't where they seemed to have fallen so they must have caught somewhere, hung and then fallen. The light faded. The search continued by tractor headlights. No luck.
The next day, unable to work for want of vision, Anna searched again. She found the glasses but they'd been remodelled by a hoof. A grim state of affairs and an argument for moving lazer surgery up the wish list.
I'm impressed with your forethought to pause to take a picture before helping look for the glasses. Bet the OH was too!

Ahem. At the moment of taking the picture I just thought it odd that there was a horse in the driveway. I didn't know why there was a horse in the driveway.
