Hello! I’m Annie!

I am a 13.2hh Cob and 7 years old.

As you may already know, I am blind. This is not all so bad though, my other senses are my super powers. When I first arrived it took me a long time to put trust in my new family, quite understandably. I was confused where I was, and all of those new sounds, and smells! It was a whirlwind for me. I didn’t know where the border of my paddock was, I didn’t have any friends. It was scary for me, but a small part of me knew I was safe now.

I was found roaming on common land in Wales in a terrible state, blind and scared and only a youngster. My humans don’t know if I was born blind or not… I guess we’ll never know. 

Fast forward to now, I have blossomed and I am often told how amazing I am! I even let other humans touch me, like the farrier or the vet. They’re not so bad if you bribe me.

I know my way around now, and rarely bump into things. I don’t like it when there’s noises that are unfamiliar but everybody helps me to navigate my way and show me I am safe, humans and horses alike. My humans help me by singing my name to guide me. 

I have lots of friends, everyone seems to like me. And they understand that I may communicate a little differently.

I love to eat snacks, especially ginger biscuits and carrots.

Love from Annie.
