How lovely of you to give this gorgeous horse a second chance! We have a resue pony on our yard with one eye. She is fine and happy. Doesnt affect her at all. Good luck im sure it will work out well for you. Xx

Scrub daily with salt watee and i pack crevices with red horse field paste overnight as stabled and get poo and wee on feet at night. I also salt scrub every few days. I dont use any strong chemicals as this can cause damage to healthy tissue as well. I know copper sulfate is very effective but...

Glad you have an answer. Hope its easily sorted.
