We have a special soft spot for blind horses. These wonderful animals rarely get a second chance. There are so many myths and misconceptions about blind horses — people think they're either dangerous, or can't have a good quality of life, or think the "only humane thing" to do is to euthanize them.
All of those myths are wrong. Dead wrong. The truth is that blind horses can have a great quality of life. We have many blind horses at the sanctuary — from energetic foals to slow-moving seniors — and every one of them enjoys life to the fullest.
We created a companion Web site, BlindHorses.org, to share what we've learned about caring for blind horses and to challenge the myths about these special animals.
The blind horses at the sanctuary have come from around the nation ... New Jersey, Missouri, Washington and Alabama, for instance. Not all of them are posted on the site, but you can read about some of them here.
No matter what their physical or medical condition, the sanctuary's horses get to graze on pastures during the spring, summer and fall. In winter, we bring them into corrals where they can have shelter and eat hay until the grass is green again. But in all four seasons, these animals get to enjoy a wonderful life.
