The Horse article on blind horses

Last fall I did a lengthy interview with a writer from The Horse magazine for a feature story on blind horses. The article ran last November but was behind a paywall on The Horse website until just recently. That's a screenshot above, and the link to read the full article is here. One of the other people interviewed extensively for the story is Dr. Ann Dwyer, a New York state equine veterinarian who is the leading authority in the veterinary world on how to care for blind horses. She's been a long-time friend and supporter of the sanctuary, and someone I was delighted to meet at conferences over the years.

It's nice to see our overall message about blind horses — that they can still have a wonderful quality of life — getting out in the equine media again.

    The article is still behind a paywall. Can’t access it. I know that if you were interviewed, there is surely excellent information and insight!

    You have to register on their site, but there is no charge to do so. Good article!
    We have two blind older horses who are great companions to each other, even when they bicker. One is rideable (but a little high strung), the other is too arthritic/trippy to ride. But they are pretty happy and we love them dearly.
