Through the kindness of people who run rescue farms and ranches, visually impaired horses are given a second chance.
Many of the animal rescues were abandoned, abused, underfed, and suffering from diseases related to malnutrition and neglect.
Resources follow for anyone interested in caring, volunteering, adopting, or donating to organizations that help blind horses, and donkeys.
