I’m back to order the third mask for my Sport Horse Amira Al Nahar. I got Amira 4 years ago. She was on a farm where the horses were all starving and in really bad shape.  I had no idea at the time that she had uveitis too and had already lost partial sight in her left eye.  I was horrified one morning shortly after she got here to go into the barn and find tears running to her nose and her beautiful big brown eye light blue.  I called the vet right away and he diagnosed uveitis and gave me ointment for her eye and told me that she would probably go blind in a few years in that eye.  It was all said so matter of fact like there was nothing to do about it, get used to the idea.  I had another vet check her after the uveitis cleared up and he gave me the same story. 

She had a bout with uveitis every couple months despite almost constant treatment. I just couldn’t accept there was nothing to be done so I started searching the Internet and I found Guardian Masks and ordered one.  She wasn’t too happy about the mask at first and tried her best to rub it off, but she’s a smart girl and she soon realized how it helps her.  I take it off her at night and if I forget to put it on in the morning, she stands in the field where she can look in my back door until I see her and come out and put on her mask.  She puts her head down for me obviously wanting it on.
