Easy Equine Vision Tests

Horses can cope remarkably well with vision loss. Stories of blind horses traveling familiar paths at a full canter aren't just urban legends. This ability to adapt has a downside, however: It can make it difficult to detect changes in your horse’s vision until they are fairly advanced.

Vision loss can go undetected in horses for weeks or even months as it progresses, so check his eyesight regularly to catch developing problems early. These simple equine vision tests will help you safely assess just how much your horse can see. | More »
