You won’t meet anyone braver than Iceman! Iceman once had a career as a high ranking jumper and eventor. In fact, he is the grandson to the famous, Northern Dancer. He was rescued by EPONA in partnership with NH Equine Humane Association as a victim of neglect. By the time he arrived at EPONA, it was determined that he suffered from Uveitis, or Moon Blindness, and had completely lost vision in one eye. Due to the inflammation from the disease, the veterinarian determined that both eyes should be removed. Now completely blind, Iceman enjoys daily romps in EPONA's largest paddock with his seeing-eye horse and best friend, Lucky.
