Which side for a one-eyed horse when driving pair?

ALWAYS put the horses eye that CAN see on the OUTSIDE of the pair.

Your horse will be able to feel its partner and sense that it is there, it does not seed to see the other horse in the pair. It does however need to be able to see the outside and where it is going, otherwise your horse will end up running into a tree or something on the outside and getting the carriage court because he cant see. your horse will learn to follow and trust its pair horse when turning onto its blind side. if you were to put the horses good eye on the inside, looking at its pair, you would have trouble getting the horse to judge turning away from its pair.

I've worked in carriage driving, and have used horses that are blind in one eye for borh riding and driving, so this information is from experience, as i have experiemented with my horses putting them in different positions before, so i can say with absolutely certainty that the good eye needs to be on the outside and not looking at the pair

Mmmmmm?

I don't drive, but I have worked with a few one eyed horses, and a couple with no eyes. I've found that the horse is more confident turning in the direction of the good eye. This only makes sense, because he can see what he;s getting himself into. So, it would make sense, to me, to put a right eyed horse on the right because the right horse would be leading the right turn. On a left turn he would be following the feel of the left horse. Kind of like having a seeing eye horse for those left turns.

Please take all the above advice with as many grains of salt as you feel necessary

It would be interesting to know how it works out..

I'd love to know how it works out!

I have zero experience with driving. And only owned one 1-eyed horse.

But I would GUESS that you would put the good eye on the outside, so the horse could see what he's turning into, or what's driving by him. His blind side would feel comforted by the horse next to him.

Hi Snezz! l've never tried driving a one eyed horse. My only insight is from trailering two of them I've had. They both vastly preferred that the good eye be looking towards the other horse.

If you drive with blinkers, I'm sure it's much less important to them. Can they even see the other horse, when they have blinkers on?

On the outside it's common sense! Should you even own horses if you don't know that?
