Hey folks! Here's my first adopt for the event! Hope everyone likes it, Appys are not my strong point.
Here's a little helpful information for you about this girl!:
Some appaloosa's have naturally thinner manes and tails. I believe they call the shorter tails rat tails Which is why i chose this breed for my first adopt of LTBH.
Secondly, appaloosa's are very vulnerable to a disease called Equine Recurrent Uveitis , or ERU, which is an ongoing disease weakening and inflaming their eyes until they become blind. You can look up all the details about it , for its simply too much to post here. This is all relevant because This girl is blind. she wasn't born this way- but she does have ERU. That being said- enjoy and good luck!
towin her, show me a picture of a naturally blind animal.

Name: Blind Leading the Blind "Cassandra"
Breed: Appaloosa
Coloration: Buckskin
Personality: Cassandra was a bright, very vivacious mare before being struck down sick and becoming blind. At first, she was in shock from the loss of sight. The experience of her sight slowly and radically growing darker and darker was maddening for her, and she grew aggressive and upset for years. She was fiercely protective of her personal space, couldn't stand being out of her stall: the open space was too much for her to take. She is slowly and carefully starting to regain her courage, and learn her way around the barnyard. Luckily, she now has a friend in the colt "Tango", who lives on our form. Tango trots along ahead of her, as he is now weaned, and she places her muzzle on his back to follow him. She wants to be out now, and you can often see her yearning for the light and the feel of the wind once more.

We actually have a blind horse at the rescue I'm currently starting at. :3 She had a very hard time at first but now she has her seeing eye pony, Georgie.

Name: Light The Way (Lantern)
Breed: Appaloosa
Coloration: Buckskin
personality: Lantern may be blind but she is take charge kinda gal. She isn't afraid to step up to plate when a challenge shows it's self, it may take her longer than most to complete but she always finishes what she starts. She is brave and will often let her curiousity get the best of her. Her hearing is amazing so it's hard to keep secrets from her, since she can usually hear you. She does have the nice side that really shows around her friends, of course she has enimes but hides that she hates them and will still talk to them some what.
Picture:

I had read a story about these two awhile ago. I have sadly forgotten their names but if I remembor correctly. The white Great Dane was born without eyes, the one at it's side the owners got a year later. They quickly bonded but the White one always had trouble getting around so naturally having the bond that they do, the Merle Great Dane stayed by his side and led him around. Showing him to food, water, to the door, and even walking him when they went for walks!

Name:
Florabellapache aka Violet

Breed:
Appaloosa

Coloration:
Buckskin

personality:
Velvet is the sweetest of the sweet, she puts all of her trust in you and will follow you to the ends of the earth. She is the type that will make friends with anyone, and has accepted her blindness, only to dream of the world of light around her. Her ears will always be moving around, picking up every small sound. She was close to death when her vision started fading, because she would not eat and would stick her head in the corner of her stall, and shy away from anything that got near her. She now has a companion named Ghost, a shire gelding who is much larger than her. He was born half blind which eventually faded away to make him being completely blind. He has a little more frisk to his personality than her, and seems to get his way around better. They will wander around all day, not very far, with him in front and her sticking her head in his tail. They are always put in the same pasture so they know their way around. No need for halters(though we still put them on) when you are taking a walk around the ranch with them. It is like a train. Human, Ghost, and Velvet in a straight line. They where posted on YourTube one time with "touching" music and brought tears to millions.
Velvet has a piece of wood hanging on her stall with this carved in it:
"Theirs none so blind, that will not see."

I read this story and was teary at the end. It wants to make you go collect every unwanted horse on the earth and give them the sense of safety, love, and comfort.
