She may not have any issues with just one eye. I have known two Icelandics with only one functional eye. Rosie had hers removed when she was young (due to an accident), and she was not bothered by it. Aesa had the eyeball, but no sight in it, and she was a nervous horse by nature, even before her accident. Often, in my arena when doing ropings, there was a big black horse. I never noticed for years that he had only one eye. His eyeball had been removed and the owner had a small ball inserted before the vet closed it up, for cosmetic purposes. You just couldn't tell! And he roped real well. Judy http://iceryder.net http://clickryder.com
