¿Tendencia a la ceguera?¿Y eso porque?
¿Tiene acaso algo que ver con eso de que tengan los ojos de vaca"?
Estaba buscado información por ahí y dicen que es genético..

pero en caballos de capas moteadas en general...
Encontré este articulo referido a los Appaloosa con capa moteada y dice que tienen una visión nula o casi nula de noche,pero de día ven bien...que los dueños no se habían dado cuenta de la ceguera del caballo..
Seguro que SevillanoenUsa nos puede hacer un resumen y una traducción que de envidia.
Os lo dejo por si quereis leerlo
Appaloosas with coat patterns indicating they are homozygous for LP, the main gene responsible for Appaloosa spotting, are affected by congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB), according to new research by Lynne Sandmeyer, DVM, DVSc, Dipl. ACVO, associate professor at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine.
What does this mean for Appaloosas and their owners?
"CSNB-affected horses are healthy, viable and useful horses," Sandmeyer said. "This is a manageable condition, and if owners know their horses are affected by this disease, they can put measures into place that keep their horses--and their families--safe."
Co-researcher Sheila Archer adds, "Most owners who participated in the CSNB study were surprised to learn their horse was affected. This tells us that these horses are very well adapted to their state. With a little help, we can make their lives even easier and safer."
