When we asked readers about their worst horse health challenges horse lover, eye issues came up— a lot!
Stories of moon blindness requiring euthanasia, ongoing eye ulcers that veterinarians struggle to resolve, and the gut-wrenching decision of whether to remove an eye. These aren't just statistics, they're your horses.
One owner shared: "When my mare got an eye ulcer after hours, she wouldn't open her eye. Since the initial ulcer, I have continued to face issues with her eye."
Another told us about moon blindness in both eyes that ultimately led to euthanasia. And then there's the five-year-old diagnosed with uveitis, scheduled for a $5,000 eye removal surgery.
Most eye problems in horses don't start in the eye itself. They start with trauma to the head, often from something as simple as a single pullback when tied. When a horse sits back and pulls, the cranial bones shift. The lacrimal bone (the bone around the eye) becomes compressed, restricting oxygen and blood flow to the eye.
This is why steroids and eye drops often provide only temporary relief. They address the inflammation, but not the root cause: cranial compression.
