About This Horse
Mercy is a truly special mare whose name fits her gentle spirit perfectly. Though she is blind, she navigates the world with a quiet bravery that inspires everyone who meets her. Without sight, Mercy relies on her other senses-her keen hearing, sensitive whiskers, and trusting heart-to guide her each day. …
