Im so sorry this is happening to your horse.

I too have had to put a horse down in the past and it is not an easy decision.

I guess first of all, do you have proper housing for a blind horse? Even the most docile loving horse can become panicked, especially a newly blind horse.

I did a quick google this morning, and from what I read it is very painful to the animal, and gets worse each time the eye gets inflamed. Has the blind eye been removed?

You have my sympathy.. I really know what a tough decision you have to make. I know which one I would make, but I have no emotional involvement and dont know the animal.
