Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

My gelding is blind in one eye and has limited vision in the other.  He is 8 
years old and I've had him from birth.  We ride as a team, I am his eyes and he 
is my wings.  As long as you can come to trust each other don't let blindness 
stand in your way.

This group has, by far, some of the most experienced voices around when it comes to horses.  I am thinking about taking in a horse who is blind in one eye.  She appears to be well trained, in good health, etc.  What has been your experience in handling a horse like this and riding one?  I doubt that she'll be an endurance prospect, probably a trail horse around home.
