Question
I switched my horses to another field after it got bushed hogged and gave them fresh water and they are blowing bubbles and drooling really bad...What does this mean??

Answer
It sounds like there is something in the field that they are eating which is affecting them.  If they were MY horses, I would move them RIGHT AWAY and keep an eye on them to make sure they don't get sick!

If they continue to drool, I would give the vet a call to check them - keep an eye out for rapid heartbeat or any other abnormal symptoms.

There is a type of plant that will cause drooling - I think clover can, but I'm pretty sure there are others.

Again - I'd move them out of that field and keep an eye on them!
