From Molly: “If you look at me and the only thing you see is that I have no eyes, then you are not looking at me for who I am. I do not feel sorry for myself at all and I request that no one else feels sorry on my behalf either. I live a very rich and full life. In fact, I daresay that losing my eyesight gave me greater insight and vision on the very heart of life. I can navigate my environment very well. I am not afraid to use my inner vision to explore my outer world. I have learned that I can trust the people around me and the other horses with whom I live to not deceive me. When I first went blind, I was a career pony. And a darn good one too. I didn’t think there could be a life for me outside of the show ring. But I was so wrong. Once I came to the farm here, I met another pony named Annie who became my soul friend. Annie taught me that I could do anything I wanted to. We may have been discarded because we couldn’t live up to a life of being ridden by humans, but there was more to us than that. She believed in me. She was my eyes for me. When she died several years ago, I was sad of course. But I also knew that she lives always in my heart. I can see more through my heart than most of you see through your eyes. I wish you all the gift of inner vision. I can see your beauty through my heart.”
