I've seen it mentioned here a few times but perhaps it's
not possible to tell for sure - I am convinced my mare has vision
problems. The vet couldn't find any sign of disease but she will stop,
stare and approach with caution and as soon as she gets up close to whatever
she's not sure of, she relaxes and moves on. She is spooky but not a
nervous horse at all. I can hold her on a lead rope and jump
on our big trampoline and she couldn't care less but if she sees children
in the distance jumping on a trampoline, she's terrified until she gets up
close.
She does the usual side-swipe away from white rocks and
black stumps but I'm positive its because she can't see them well
enough.
Anyone else share this theory? or perhaps it doesn't
matter because what can we do about it? get 'em some drug store
specs?
