There are actually quite a few horses with blue eyes at the barn I board at. I think there are 3 or 4 with both blue eyes, there's 3 or 4 with half and half, and probably 5 with partials. The barn is mostly filled with paints lol. I saw a horse once with pink eyes, now that was freaky.

Apparently blue eyes are a requirement in our equine family. Not really intentionally, but out of 4 horses, one pony, and one mini, all have one or both blue eyes, except the pony. The mini and two horses have both, and the other two horses have one of each.

A blue eye also called "Glass" eye, "Moon" eye, "China" eye, "Wall" eye or "Night" eye is when a horse has a blue eye instead of the most common brown eye. The blue has no pigment and is more prone to cataracts. Some people also say that the horses is blind in that eye which in most cases is not true.

I think it looks pretty cool. Our paint filly has it and she has it in the shape of a "C". It kinda fits since her name is Corona :P

Well that's good. I know some horses do have to have thier out. Gizmo's hasn't seemed to bother him though. Sometimes he has a bad day with it and it leaks but I just give him a little aspirin and he gets all better. Hoping I won't have to get it removed down the road but if it starts hurting him then its better to.
