I have not yet called a vet, my vet that was great at giving advise on the phone is no longer in service, so..... anyways, here is the video, let me know if you cant get it to load. Because she is pretty well normal looking, and this is not really affecting her day to day life... does not appear...

I doubt it supaspot cause she has also done it when taking off frisky outside, and the light was not changing, and she has done it inside the barn before being in sight of the barn... from what I have read mammals have hairs inside their ears that send messages to the legs to react and a...

I can try, she is worse when she is not picking her own way, so I will find out.... she is not keen about coming back in either going into the dark....

I wonder if the vets that were involved in the US Davis studies of the correlation of the Splashed white pattern with deafness in horses, caused by the hairs being missing would be able to shed some light. The previous owner never noticed anything amiss with her, and I would not have had either...

It really is such a rare occurance to have a splashed white affected only in one ear..... so its hard to compare a horse lacking those hairs needed for balance only in one ear.

See my thoughts are that there are MANY instances of deaf cats, deaf horses, etc... and splashed whites are deaf because of the lack of little hairs inside the ear, well I researched and found that the little hairs are also what sends the messages out to move a leg to regain balance, but if they...

Its not really the fact she would be deaf in that ear causing the inbalance, I suspect that if the hairs are not present (as this is what causes the deafness) the hairs are needed for balance, and if they are not present they could be causing the inbalances..... I dont know.

This is what I found about people, and assume that horses are much the same, since the white inner ear causes the hairs to die that are in the inner ear, I figured deafness in ONE ear, could cause balance issues.... I am going to research to see if the hairs do the same thing in horses, I would...

Its also inside when you are pushing her and she doesnt want to go..... and also when she turns to be frisky and take off in another direction....... feels more to me like balance issues, but not sure...... and grasping at straws with the white ear and her being splashed white.

I have a nice little black splashed white (I think) mare. She has white over her ear, one ear, not the other. Blue eyes.... we had her just in a large stall 16 by 20 and hadnt turned her out in the field for some time. The first time we turned her out, she had to come out of her stall, turn go...

That statement is okay ONLY if the price is listed! Because is not listed, how do you know if you are serious or not? If the horse in question is a very nice horse for the money if its priced at $2,500, then I might be serious about it, but if the horse is priced at $25,000 then I might not be a...

Okay I have a question because I cant seem to find an answer anywhere else. Since the hairs inside the ear also affect balance in humans, is there the possibility that the lack of hairs inside the ear that causes deafness in splashed white overos (my understanding is that its this lack of...

This is the story. I know this is not a mini horse, but was wondering if anyone has had similar experience. First of all the colt was fine, and the first day we turned them out onto a larger pasture, and they did run a lot that day. ANyways, when he came in, he was favoring one hind leg a lot...

Okay, would love to see small minis with hoods, I have pictures of the ones I have made that are for the bigger horses, but would love to see the smaller ones. Questions also, I know the large eye hole thingy, but do you guys mind the seam on top, or would your rather no seams? Here is a small...

Hi, sorry I am not around much, but have been busy, with work and everything else. I have been playing around with mini hood patterns (my big horse pattern, has about a B sized mini hood included, and I scaled it down and made what I have been told is about a small). My question, if anyone has...
