A wall eye is a blue eye?

 

[Orangehorse]

I thought it was the same.

Nothing!! Blue just sounds less ugly!!!!

 

[SpruceRI]

Does it make a difference whether it has more black in the iris or white around the edge??

Anyone know why a blue eye is called a wall eye?

Thanks

One and the same. It's a horsy term

Robin has two blue eyes, very pale, it gives her a slightly 'away with the fairies expression'

Just different terms I think.

I have also heard it called China Eyes

If memory serves me right, no blue eyes are not the same as wall eyes (which are the eyes which also have the other names; China etc).

A blue eye is an eye with a deep blue iris and pupil, whereas a wall eye is pale whitey-blue with a brown iris and the colours merge.

My black welshy's eyes are both bright blue, but my coloured foal has a wall eye and when you see both together you can see the differences as Tia said
