Greener Pastures: Jackson

Jackson arrived at Mylestone in summer, 2012, a blind paint gelding. He is now about 19 years old (2021). He was part of a large cruelty case in which many of the horses were starved. Jackson only needed to gain about 75 - 100 pounds. He is now up to full weight and looks perfect.

His blindness comes from a case of uveitis in his left eye which was never treated and a large cataract in his right eye. He had chronic flare ups with the uveitis and required daily medication. In March 2013 his left eye was removed because it had become painful. He may see some light from his remaining eye, but is one of the most well-adjusted blind horses we have had at Mylestone.
