She would shy at distant objects no matter how many times you took her around them. She would wash out just warming her up before a run at a show from shying from anything & everything. I had hauled her extensively & always won money once she entered the arena & was running. As it seemed if she was running she didn't have time to look for spooks she did perfect. When going slow her nickname was Rickashay!...lol...
Many horses have sight problems...Just like people...Causes a lot of the shying & not wanting to cross water (depth perception)...You've seen these horses with white around the edges of their eye? Means they are gotche eyed....For example, an eye that has white at the top of the eye is pointed down & don't see in front of him well so he don't get to see well until it's right on top of something & causes the shying....combine a gotched eye & a hot bred horse & you have real problems..

Mine was nearsighted & had a calm eye, but was very race line bred top & bottom. Very quick to react to something.
