Re: Pony with blind eye
Sorry to hear about your ponys' eye, did he have an accident with it, or was it a medical problem?
I used to know a horse who also was blind in one eye, he was kept in a field near where our horses are, and was a real sweety. He still managed to go hunting and coped really well, he loved hacking and generally acted totally normally.
I think you'll have to get him used to turning on that side in a safe place, like a school, where he can have a good look round, take him in hand perhaps at first, show him everything there is to see, and when you ask him to turn to his blind side try giving a spoken aid that he can recognise, and make sure you only use that aid when you want to turn him that way.
Trial and error probably, just see how it goes, but ask around to see if anyone else has had this and what they did about it to help their horse.
Good luck with him, and I hope you can sort things out.
