Miniature horse "Munchkin" - 01-21-2005
This is a picture of my 29"
miniature yearling horse " Silk Purse's Little Munchkin". Silk Purse
is a small time rescue operation. We got munchkin when she was
about 8 months old. The first thing we noticed about her (besides
being very tiny and cute) was that she had "bugged-out" eyes. We
discovered that her parents were both blind. Sire has Glaucoma,
and Dam has the same "bugged-out" eyes only clouded over with
Uveitis (why do people
still breed animals like this????).
Anyway - we kept a fly mask
on her all summer before finding out about Guardian mask. She is
doing well with the mask and we certainly intend on training her to
drive (pull a cart) when she is old enough as well as go
back-packing with us. Hopefully, with the mask and good medical
care, she will retain what sight she has.
