MY pony Mossy is a quirky 13-year-old Lipizzaner gelding from Hungary. Initially, he suffered from recurrent inflammation in one eye, which hindered his ability to live a normal life tremendously. The decision to remove the eye was a turning point for Mossy and has greatly improved his comfort and quality of life.

Mossy’s limited vision has meant that he is more reliant on me, but this has led to strengthened trust in each other. When I compare pictures from when we first started together to now, the change in Mossy’s posture from reticence to confidence is noticeable.
