Through consistency and trust, that bond can actually grow through a disability such as equine blindness. If you are thinking your horse may have some vision problems, please read on. This article may help you to understand why your horse\u2019s behavior is changing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Equine blindness can have many degrees of impairment and can evolve from an illness or impairment that develops over time. Vision changes can be slight or can develop into only seeing shadows or progress to total blindness.\u00a0 Signs of falling vision in horses can be, (and not limited to), bumping into walls or fences, signs of not wanting to move forward, or anxious or skittish behavior.\u00a0 These signs can be further noticed in lower-light areas or when there is less daylight.\u00a0 Some horse owners say that they notice their horse tends to tilt his or her head and rather than walking out, they circle in the pasture.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Early diagnosis is the best advise when it comes to our horse\u2019s health.\u00a0 Consulting your veterinarian at any signs of change may even help to prevent further health issues.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many people owning blind horses have noted that they were not remotely persuaded to think about euthanasia.\u00a0 Rather, the horse owner worked through the process of changes, with their horse, that was needed to make life almost normal again! A vet once told me that animals handle health issues much different than humans. He said that animals look at the injury as an &#8216;incontinence&#8217; and soon adapt &#8211; the best that they can &#8211; to the new situation. And that seems to be the case with many horses.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Consistency and Trust<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As different as humans are, horses have diverse personalities too.\u00a0 The adaptation of blindness with horses depends highly on the horse and its temperament. Definitely, their needs to be a commitment for care and provisions for safer living areas without the threat from other heard horses higher in the pecking order. It can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months for horses to keenly adjust their focus on their senses of smell and hearing to find their way around.\u00a0 Additionally, handlers need to instill trust by using their voices consistently to encourage a strong bond. In some cases, blindness is in only one eye of the horse.\u00a0 Since a horses eye set is from side to side (rather than from the front, like humans), there is a blind spot directly in front of the horses face. Talking lets the horse know where you are standing&#8230;similar to when a\u00a0horse wears blinders &#8211; they listen for your voice and respond to touch.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>So what are some of the things that you can do to help your horse gain trust and be less anxious?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Start with your voice &#8211;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Consistent talking will help greatly. This lets your horse sense where you are and teaches him to &#8216;listen&#8217; more intently.\u00a0 By speaking and then using &#8216;command&#8217; words, you will be giving your horse a &#8216;picture&#8217; of what is going to happen. Your voice will also allow your horse to know what and where you will be touching him with words like &#8216; hoof or hoof pick, halter, blanket, saddle, etc&#8217;.\u00a0 You will gain trust and help to stop the element of surprise through your voice.\u00a0 As time goes on you can add obstacles so that your horse will anticipate them. On the other end of the spectrum, your voice will also help to keep your horse from walking &#8216;into&#8217; you once the trust has been established.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Let people know that your horse is blind or going blind &#8211;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Post signs. Anyone at your farm would be better able to understand your horse\u2019s situation with a sign to let him or her know you have a blind horse.\u00a0 If you can, be present if someone new is around your horse so you can explain how he\/she is handled. This will instill trust and also avoid an accidental injury.\u00a0 In-between blindness can create moodiness or anxiety, while completely blind horses can be more trusting. In either case, awareness of a lack of vision will enable you to offer a good experience and consistency for your horse.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-33045\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/vincent-botta-276146-unsplash-681x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"681\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/vincent-botta-276146-unsplash-681x1024.jpg 681w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/vincent-botta-276146-unsplash-600x902.jpg 600w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/vincent-botta-276146-unsplash-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/vincent-botta-276146-unsplash-768x1154.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/vincent-botta-276146-unsplash-560x842.jpg 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/vincent-botta-276146-unsplash-160x240.jpg 160w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/vincent-botta-276146-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1703w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Don&#8217;t clip whiskers &#8211;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Whiskers are great &#8216;feelers&#8217; for horses and let your horse find things easier. Even eye &#8216;whiskers&#8217; will help to avoid bumps.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Make feeding times less stressful-<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Feeding times can be stressful if your horse is in a heard. Consider feeding your horse in an area that allows him to feel secure without worry. A blind horse quickly goes to the bottom of the pecking order and needs to be able to eat and graze without a threat of getting kicked or pushed away from the food source.\u00a0 Feed buckets, managers, grain bowls can be marked with secure bells allowing your horse to &#8216;hear&#8217; where the food is located. Consistency will help your horse to feel more secure.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Consider &#8216;noise&#8217; to help your horse know where its walkways are located &#8211;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your horse will focus in on its hearing more than before.\u00a0 You can use noise to help your horse know where it will be walking. Low playing radios, gentle sounding wind chimes, and non-alarming noises can indicate, to your horse, where he is isolated and walking.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-32624\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9-1-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9-1-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9-1-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9-1-280x185.jpg 280w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9-1-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9-1-160x106.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Prepare your pasture<\/strong> &#8211;<\/h3>\n<p>There is no better way to help your horse than to provide a safer pasture with impaired vision.\u00a0 Remove any bare wire or barbed wire and avoid electric whenever possible. Replace with Ramm Flexible fencing that flexes up to 6 inches. A forgiving fence will be your horse\u2019s best bet in helping to avoid injury.\u00a0 Provide closer rail spacing by using a 4 rail wide (5&#8243;) fence to help with any change of &#8216;walking through&#8217; or confusion. It is the kindest rail, over wood, wire or pipe and will provide &#8216;gentle&#8217; containment.\u00a0 Consider using wood chips in walk areas or around the perimeter of your pastures so your horse can tell when he is &#8216;off track&#8217;. This will also allow your horse to go into other paddocks as needed without as much confusion.\u00a0 Owners have said that their blind horse can learn to run and play in the pasture as well as halt before running into fence lines. Once again, consistency will greatly help.\u00a0 Check for any holes in your pastures and fill them.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Companion or guide horses &#8211;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many people have found just the right companion for a blind horse allowing them to form an incredible bond.\u00a0 One owner stated that &#8216;its magic&#8217; and that its an &#8216;unbreakable bond that&#8217;s wonderful&#8217;.
