There are several items to check.
For example, the colt on the ground is playing dead, the boy in the chair holds the horse harness, but so does the dog - also sitting in a chair - behind the boy.

Bluffton Hospital is now offering free screening mammograms to low and middle income women and men through the Hancock County Mammography Screening Initiative (HCMSI). Participants do not need to live in Hancock County to qualify. Funding for this initiative is provided by the Northwest Ohio Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure and The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation.
Free mammograms will be offered for those who meet eligibility criteria related to age, breast cancer risk, household income, and health insurance coverage or a lack of health insurance.
