I like people that do great things for animals. In 2000, a couple started a santuary in Montana called the Rolling Dog Ranch. They wanted to have a place for disabled dogs and cats, but their first resident was a blind horse named "Lena." Today they have 25 blind horses and they work hard to educate people on ERU, eye trauma, glaucoma, and other ocular defects. They turn the horses out in pairs to minimize risk of injury from herd dynamics. The horses can't read body ques like ears pinned back, but they know where their water and feed spots are. I just think it is so cool that Steve and Alayne provide a loving home for these horses. If you want to read more about equine blindness, they have a lot of great information and photos on their other website, blind horses.

I saw a story on tv about these two. That is an amazing facility they run. They have rescued horses with other disabilites as well.
That's pretty cool. I'm going to pass the link along to someone who just bought a nearly blind mare.

Its amazing how one journey (starting for dogs and cats,) can turn to an entirely different direction!
Bet they have a whole slew of mighty happy horses there... ;)
I love that they are doing such a wonderful thing!
My Dad had a horse who went blind, we managed, but I can't imagine taking care of a whole herd of blind horses.
I give them a lot of credit. There is a special place in heaven for people like that.
