Continuing on from the last post, this horse has got blue eyes! I know basically nothing about horses obviously, and this was such a fun surprise. The owner said the Paint horse can have these beautiful blue eyes. I have almost the same colour eyes as the horse and wonder if they too have difficulty with very bright light more so than other horses or humans? Or colourblindness?
Sometimes horses and ponies can have two blue eyes, or one blue eye and one brown eye, like dogs. When I was growing up, the one blue eye was known as a “watch eye”.
Meaning that eye had extra good sight? I’m still amazed with this!
I think that was the implication, that the horse watched “really good” with that eye, although I think that is an old mare’s tale. 🙂
I think your correct!
I hadn’t heard of this trait before. They do have beautiful baby blues😊
You too! As I approached the horse I thought something was a bit different. The horse was very calm and gentle.
