Being able to physically see doesn't always mean you really see the world.
Buddy is a blind horse who lost his eyes, but that hasn't stopped him from living a very normal life at the Catskill Animal Sanctuary.
Too often, when animals are in need, their owners can't find it in themselves to be there and support them. Sadly, Buddy had this very fate.
When Buddy started to go blind, his owners decided to surrender him, as they could no longer care for him. Thankfully, at CAS Buddy can get the care that he needs.
But his blindness was persistent and very painful. Eventually, the condition required the removal of Buddy's eyes entirely.
Losing something so vital to everyday life was tough for Buddy. It took months of rehab and a lot of TLC to get him comfortable. Now Buddy thrives in his environment!
If you didn't see his lack of eyes, you'd never know he's blind. Buddy spends his days like any average horse, with his best friend Mirage, who also happens to be blind. The two horses are very happy to roam the sanctuary together.
