• The Rolling Dog Ranch Animal Sanctuary in Montana rescues and shelters disabled animals. They maintain a website (www.blindhorses.org) that is dedicated specifically to the blind horses at the ranch. There are many excellent resources at both sites. They also host a website especially for blind Appaloosas (www.blindappaloosas.org).

• We recommend the recently published book Equine Ophthalmology, by Brian Gilger, DVM, MS.
