I have a horse with moonblindness that I had to quit riding for 3-4 years
because he had so much trouble adjusting to his lack of sight. It was so
hard for me to adjust to this as he was such an incredible horse before, we
were going bridleless, could do anything together etc and then he kind of
lost it. He is a sweetheart again that is very safe in the corral and
pasture (that was going on 7 years ago), but has his moments where he freaks
out because of his sight - I couldn't ever let somebody else ride or work
with him without me around. And he is a normal horse otherwise, so I can
understand Heidi doing this also.

With the way this list has been running for me lately, who knows when this
will show up, but in any case, an update!
Things have settled down (well, more like *I* have settled down); my two
problem children have had a good couple of days, as if they know what I've
been
talking about.
So, after spending a good amount of quality time with each, I'm just going
to try to make it work for now. Though they do have outbursts (Heidi's,
BTW,
I believe to be related to her vision â she does not have an aggressive
bone
in her body), most of the time they're happy, friendly, and sweet -
typical
Fjords. Yes, they have severe physical problems, and Brecken can be a
total
jerk when he doesn't want to do something, but we're working on it as best
we
can, and I feel like I owe it to them to at least keep trying. Hopefully
one of these days he'll realize it's okay to be compliant!
