  • On the outskirt of Eugene (Oregon) lives Endo, an Appaloosa gelding who has inspired the hearts of many after losing his sight to a widespread eye disorder. However, this hasn't stopped him from going on to achieve great things. We have visited Endo to watch him playing and running, even though he is blind, and talked to his owner Morgan Wagner, to find out more about Endo's life and his incredible story.

    What I find fascinating is how the muscles around his eyes still twitch to blink

      yea its phantom feeling i believe i dunno im dumb lol but its where you think the limb is still there humans experience it too when they lose a limb ^^

      Yeah! I volunteer with 14 horses one of them only has one eye. The other was removed surgically. He still blinks with both eyes as if there was no difference. He's not really different from the other horses I volunteer with. Other than the fact that he relies on handlers a little more. But it's still amazing to see a horse with no eyes at all. Caspian, the horse I was just talking about, he can still see. Endo can't see anything, but he can still have fun like the other horses he lives with. It's honestly adorable and fascinating.

      I’m with you Sophie on that! My gelding had his eye removed in May and it was surprising/super cool to see he still had the blink reflex in the empty socket!

    Endo has been an inspiration for me. Been following his story for a couple of years now.
    He shows that just because a horse maybe banged up a little, doesn’t mean their life should be thrown away.

    Endo is such a sweetheart. I live in Oregon, and I see him at the Linn County Horse Fair & Expo almost every year. I've gotten to feed him treats, give him kisses, pet him, etc. He's absolutely amazing and he's such a sweetheart. I look forward to seeing him every year ❤

      @katelynatwood3027 Před 4 lety +3

      Keeli Cummings See I hear this. I go every year as I live in Linn county, and when I saw him and her preform it was terrible. I’m sad to say. My family and I were very excited but she wasn’t dressed to preform, (which okay whatever this is Linn county who cares) but then she snapped at the announcer, was rude to the audience, and only rode for 5 or 6 minutes, when she was scheduled for 15 or 20. She had an attitude the entire time and seemed like she was bothered she even had to preform in front of people who were there to support her. Maybe an off day, but either way it was horrible and many people there said that’s how it was previously. Hate to talk bad but it was honestly really bad. I’m glad other people in Linn county have had pleasant experiences.

      @user-om5tv5fd9s Před 4 lety +1

      I’m sure it is mostly thanks to the owner’s work and the horse’s character, but having a disability like that might play a role into bonding and trusting one another on a whole new level. We used to have a lovely horse that was hjust recently dismissed from his racing career after completely ruining his legs from racing his whole life. Because his legs were so damaged he couldn’t flee or defend himself but just strengthened the trust between us more

    Beautiful. We always raised our horses to react to verbal and visual signs and I'm great they managed to teach verbal commands to him. One of the stables where I occasionally rode had an old mare who was blind as well. She was almost twenty years of age and a total sweetheart. She had been blind for over ten years and knew how where the end of the arena and the fields were. Small kids could sit on her back and ride her without a problem, because she was just so well adjusted to her blindness. I'm glad that Endo's owners haven't taken the "easy way out" and put him down but instead cherished him. Great video!

      It is a late answer but at least it is a answer
      If you look closely before the zoom in on the jump you can see how she is moving her lips! So i guess he learned to jump due to a voice command like he learned to bow with the word "bow"

    The level of trust. This horse walks, trots, and canters in any direction this humans points his nose into. She could run in right into a wall or a fence a hole anything! And yet he continues to believe in her and trust her completely, trust that she will tell him when to jump and stop him before he gets hurt. This level of trust and bond cannot be faked in any way shape or form. Incredible absolutely incredible.
