I don't know what is wrong but my horse Tahi is blind.She is running into fences and can't see to find her feed bowel. I have had to hold the bin under her nose so she can get her food. Unfortunately we are very short of grass because of the very wet winter following the summer drought. She just sticks close to another horse to find her way about. The vet is coming out tomorrow at 9.00 and in the meantime we are just keeping her safe.
Needless to say I am extremely worried. The vet says she is very concerned and thinks it may be serious

How is Tahi.. it sounded bad. I read the blog on the day you posted it but has password glitches.
Hi Bindy
I will write more shortly but in the meantime.
We had the animal eye specialist to her last Friday and she has a cataract in the left eye and surgery is not very successful with horses. she will never get the sight back in that eye.
In the right eye she has uveitis and if I have it correctly the eye works fine however there is no contact between the eye and the brain. The specialist injected her straight into the eye and I am putting stuff int it twice a day and she is on steriods and other stuff. The chances of her recovering her sight is not good however I feel she has shown some sign of seeing today??????????
I led her through some tyres today to see how she was. I delibately tried to fool her. When I was on the right side ( blocking her vision on the side we have some hope with ) she walked right into the tyre However when I walked on the other side she walked around the tyres. I zigzaged and walked all over the paddock and back again and each time she avoided the tyres. I am soooooooooo hopeful.
I will keep you posted with progress here.
