Yesterday evening I was feeding two of our blind horses in their shed next to Beauty's Barn when the intercom on my phone rang. It was Alayne (um, no one else here who could be calling!), reporting that there was no water at Lena's Barn. All the automatic waterers in the corrals were out of…

After another light snow and plunging temperatures forecast for last night, it was time to bring the horses in from pasture for the winter. Alayne took these photos of me leading blind Lena (on the left) and blind Nikki back to the barns yesterday afternoon. The horses love being out on pasture — and we…

Here are three of our blind girls, enjoying a late summer ‘pasture party.’ On the left is little Destiny, a blind foal who was born in April this year in South Carolina. (Destiny will be in the fall…

This evening we’re having a horse transporter pick up a blind foal for us in South Carolina. This baby is only 3 weeks old and was born without eyes in her head. The owner was going to have her euthanized. The stable manager contacted us a week ago and asked if we could save her.…
