Rescued Animals Second Chance Inc. lost another horse this month. Major came to us from the kill pen in Bastrop, Louisiana in 2018. He was very sick and had pneumonia upon arrival at the Double Nickel Ranch. He also was skinny. This photo was taken after he felt a bit better and had been bathed. Major was afflicted with cancer and had to be put down. We will miss you, Major.

Rescued Animals Second Chance Inc. lost Punch yesterday. He had lived at the Double Nickel Ranch since 2013. He was a 9-year-old reining horse. The owner relinquished him due to navicular problems. Dr. Emily Berryhill at Brock Vet Clinic took him in until she moved to California to continue her veterinary training. She asked RASC if Punch could live at the Double Nickel Ranch. He had a great life at the Double Nickel and was very much loved. We will miss you, Punch.

According to Zippia, almost 70% of animal rescue workers are women.

Without the compassion and drive of women, who knows where the horse would be?

You Can't Make a Horse Trust You

15/02/2024

Is your horse’s nighttime vision better than your daytime vision?

When comparing equine vision to human vision, the horse has a smaller visible spectrum (see image) which means they see a smaller range of colors than we do. However, horses have a structure in the back of their eye—called the tapetum lucidum—that humans do not have. This enhances vision in low light conditions and allows a horse to see better in the dark than a human does. However, reflections from the tapetum lucidum can also blur images and lead to poor depth perception at night.

Dilation of the pupil allows all species to see better in the dark. This process takes longer in a horse (45 minutes) than it does in humans (25 minutes). So when a horse is asked to do something in a dark environment, it’s important to allow their vision proper time to fully accommodate.

Overall, the nighttime vision of a horse is better than the nighttime vision of a human. However, the horse’s nighttime vision is NOT better than the daytime vision of a human. Anytime you are asking your horse to function in a dim light situation, give them time to adjust. And if they are fearful, be patient and try to understand how things look from their perspective!
