I add, "Trust" to that good mixture of resolve. Let the LORD do what He will and Trust, it to him. He will show you the way and the timing will be correct for the next path to take. Please know that I am sending you prayers for <br />"Jehovah Shalom" to be your heart's rest.<br />XXX<br />KKallhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-19975385607739544112013-03-20T14:19:40.594-07:002013-03-20T14:19:40.594-07:00Thanks so much everybody!

Not Eagle's fault...he was just being a horse, but, it is easy to get angry with him. <br /><br />Some horses adjust very well to blindness...others don't. Harley sounds like he may be the type of horse that does well if given the chance. If I was in the same situation, I'd turn the blind horse out with the same, quiet, trusted horse every day in the same, unchanging paddock. Sameness is what's most important, as is a quiet turnout buddy. I wouldn't turn him out with Eagle again, and wouldn't turn him out with more than one horse at a time, if possible. <br /><br />Give him some time, control his environment, and he will let you know how well he can adjust to being blind.

Knowing what is right or what cores of action to take can truly make the hart sad and the mind oh so very heavy. We as mere human beings should never be put in a position wear we must make life or death decisions. But as stewards of one of Gods greatest gifts we all at some point find ourselves in just such a spot. Pray for life with all your hart, Do all the is humanely possible to keep him safe, The lord will never give you more than you two can handle and he will let you know what cores to fallow. May the good lord smile on you Harley.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-29930638306036048182013-03-20T08:52:05.909-07:002013-03-20T08:52:05.909-07:00I owned a mare who must have had something very si...I owned a mare who must have had something very similar to that happen to her years before I bought here. However she had lived without the sight in that eye for at least 4 years before I bought her and then for the 4 or more years after until she died of old age. My mare got along quite well without the use of the eye and we rode her and even started training her for cowboy mounted shooting events. <br />As difficult as it is right now, there is still hope for his future.

He might surprise you and heal with time. I know you are doing everything you can for him.

Blind horses can do very well if they have a guardian horse.<br /><br />Red had a very bad corneal ulcer that took forever to heal and had to be debrided once - the vet called it an "indolent" ulcer. It took almost 6 months to heal - those things can be bears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-34342660940230989002013-03-19T15:13:02.211-07:002013-03-19T15:13:02.211-07:00Lets start with ((((((hug))))))
You sound like you...Lets start with ((((((hug))))))<br />You sound like you could use a big one right now. <br />Poor Harley. I'm sure Eagle just thought Harley was being rude, and Harley didn't know what to do next. <br />Sounds like he may have to be limited in his contact with the others for now. But then I'm sure he relies on Kadie to help him find his way. <br />You are doing all you can to help him heal, and so in the true sense of the word you are doing right by him. Of course the hard truth is that if it doesn't heal and he loses the eye, then new decisions will have to be made. But it doesn't have to be made yet. <br />I don't know why it always happens to the good ones. It sure seems to go that way though, doesn't it? <br />Your grandkids are adorable! <br />I'm sorry you are going through this, we are here if you need us.
