I wonder if you've heard of Endo? A gelding, he has been blind since experiencing eye disease when he was 8. His owner/rider, Morgan Wagner, chose Endo out of her grandmother's herd when he was only a few months old and she was 13. They've been together through thick and thin ever since and have a very strong and unusual bond.
After Morgan and her vet's desperate attempts to save both of Endo's eyes and after they were removed, 6 months apart, Morgan taught Endo to walk with confidence and to trust her. They have both made incredible leaps of faith.
Now they travel across the US and Canada, putting on performances that include liberty work and even jumping. Endo can do everything a sighted horse can do and even more. His story is here and you can follow him and Morgan on Instagram which is where I ran across them.
I understand that if you make it to one of their performances, there's an opportunity to meet Endo and Morgan and congratulate them on achieving the seemingly impossible.
