Yes, Moon Blindness is very strange the way it starts with just attacks where the eye is cloudy and then it will look normal for a while. It's unfortunate that there is no cure yet, just medication for the early stages.Deanie Humphrys-Dunnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01158137427355179676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217941185882916007.post-3806144325357102682013-10-14T17:01:23.061-07:002013-10-14T17:01:23.061-07:00Beautiful horses!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Moon ...Hi Julie,<br />Thank you so much for stopping by! Moon Blindness is awful and we all wish they had a cure for it, as well as a cause. Hopefully, they will find those things soon. When we lived at the riding school, we had two horses who got it. It was sad for them, but they carried on well afterwards.Deanie Humphrys-Dunnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01158137427355179676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217941185882916007.post-666253976110239432013-10-14T07:47:53.431-07:002013-10-14T07:47:53.431-07:00Beautiful horses!

Moon Blindness ...Hi Sherry, thanks for stopping by. Moon Blindness is a condition where a horse has periods where they are blind and then their vision clears. But eventually, they have no sight in the effected eye. It could be a genetic condition, where certain breeds are more likely to get it. One of Holly's ponies had it, but he carried on as he normally would. He still would jump anything in sight!Deanie Humphrys-Dunnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01158137427355179676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217941185882916007.post-29358711127968282212013-10-13T08:47:37.804-07:002013-10-13T08:47:37.804-07:00Appaloosas are such pretty horses!
