yea its phantom feeling i believe i dunno im dumb lol but its where you think the limb is still there humans experience it too when they lose a limb ^^

Yeah! I volunteer with 14 horses one of them only has one eye. The other was removed surgically. He still blinks with both eyes as if there was no difference. He's not really different from the other horses I volunteer with. Other than the fact that he relies on handlers a little more. But it's still amazing to see a horse with no eyes at all. Caspian, the horse I was just talking about, he can still see. Endo can't see anything, but he can still have fun like the other horses he lives with. It's honestly adorable and fascinating.

I’m with you Sophie on that! My gelding had his eye removed in May and it was surprising/super cool to see he still had the blink reflex in the empty socket!

Of course even tho someone loses a eye the nerves and reflexes don't go anywhere

@@proudlesbiancat3577 yes u are correct it's the nerves ect humans allso do it the only difference is no eye nothing else changes

...exactly what my reaction was too...and the woman's ability to create that trust is admirable!

Keeli Cummings See I hear this. I go every year as I live in Linn county, and when I saw him and her preform it was terrible. I’m sad to say. My family and I were very excited but she wasn’t dressed to preform, (which okay whatever this is Linn county who cares) but then she snapped at the announcer, was rude to the audience, and only rode for 5 or 6 minutes, when she was scheduled for 15 or 20. She had an attitude the entire time and seemed like she was bothered she even had to preform in front of people who were there to support her. Maybe an off day, but either way it was horrible and many people there said that’s how it was previously. Hate to talk bad but it was honestly really bad. I’m glad other people in Linn county have had pleasant experiences.

It's all in the horsemanship...

Ariel Mizrachi Not always. Sometimes some horses are just cheeky!

Lol

He can't see meaning he can't be spooked

I’m sure it is mostly thanks to the owner’s work and the horse’s character, but having a disability like that might play a role into bonding and trusting one another on a whole new level. We used to have a lovely horse that was hjust recently dismissed from his racing career after completely ruining his legs from racing his whole life. Because his legs were so damaged he couldn’t flee or defend himself but just strengthened the trust between us more

And his owner is a hero to. I can't imagine how much time she must have invested to build up this deep trust and connection they have. (Sorry for my English)

I noticed too! He looks so fit and athletic. Beautiful creature!

It is a late answer but at least it is a answer If you look closely before the zoom in on the jump you can see how she is moving her lips! So i guess he learned to jump due to a voice command like he learned to bow with the word "bow"

I agree!and may look a bit different then other horses but he seems so sweet

@@blossom9876 Exactly, sweetness counts for a lot in my book.

Same, I used to have my Appy colt named Sarape and he accidentally blinded himself. They sold him to slaughter.

@@ix3755 Who sold him to slaughter?

@@debbiepeter112 The trainers

@@ix3755 Discusting!! Trainers who shouldnt be working with animals

@@ix3755 Thats terrible! Those trainers shouldn't be with the animals! If my riding school did that (even though they wouldn't) I'd get my mother to sue them and I wouldn't be going back again. I know they wouldn't do that though cause they're amazing

He didn't jump well. but he did jump! and for a completely blind horse with no light perception, that is pretty amazing.
