wow. i did not think a specific breed, especially one as common as appy’s, would have a genetic issue causing them to go blind. blind horses are pretty able, they just need a little more help, and a little more understanding. with some effort, theese horses can soon adjust to their new lives. good luck to the horses and researchers!

sounds great! good luck to them! blind horses are still pretty able, they just need a little more help and understanding. i never thought of a specific breed, especially as common as appy’s, could have some genetic issue causing mre to go blind. i hope they can figure things out soon and help theese horses to adjust to their new lives.
