Blind Horse Owner's Story
Since March 2020, HOC Rose started collecting stories in their words from those horse owners who discovered their horse is blind, sharing their journey of owning and caring for their blind horse(s) because they want to give HOPE to others who seek help. We post those stories every Sunday on our Facebook page.
Each one of us started knowing nothing about blind horses and we learned as we went along. If we can, so can anyone. Horses become blind in different ways: genetic predisposition, injury, eye diseases, or from natural aging process.
The stigma is very low with partial blind horses but when it comes to those fully blind horses, the reaction is a whole different picture. The stigma is still there for those fully blind horses.
There is a blind horse community among us that needs to be heard and seen.
Sharing Blind Horse Owner's stories is our most powerful tools in sharing awareness on blind horses. The more stories we can share then more people will realize it is very common and is not a rare occurrence. Together we can share the stories, then the ripple can go so far to reach as many people as we can and change the perceptive on blind horses.
If you have a blind horse, Please consider sharing your story.
