My newest venture

So about a week ago I had rescued this 10 year old blind gelding.  He kind of happened to fall into my lap and I really didn't want nor need another horse, however I felt really called to help this horse.  I saw his picture on Facebook and decided to contact the lady and as it turns out, he is now in my barn.  He probably has the sweetest soul I have ever seen in a horse.  He has had a very rough beginning.  He was originally rescued from Sugarcreek when he was found to have a huge hole in his side and was split from ear to ear exposing his skull from a horrible trauma.  He was going to be loaded directly onto the slaughter truck but this woman saved him and at the time he was just a youngster.  It turns out, that because his head injury was so severe, this has caused him to go completely blind.  Currently he only has about 10% of vision in his left eye and nothing else.  He is very thin and desperately needs groceries! He continues to devour food all day.  It really is sad and he just tugs at my heart strings every day.  He has hardly ever been out of a stall and if so, he was in a roundpen.  He never has been allowed to be a "real" horse.  I can not wait until spring comes and I can turn him out in the pasture where he can feel the wind in his mane and the sun on his back and have his little area of freedom.  I am currently looking for a companion for him because he needs a buddy he can follow around seeing as he will not know where he is at.  So today, I am going to look at this ancient pony that my daughter could possibly ride but I am hoping she will be a good quiet friend for Ghost.  Again, not that I need another horse but I somehow feel this is the direction I am being pulled in and it's the right thing to do.  I am asking for help from above on this one. :)   I have since decided that my daughter's pony, Bullseye, a little appy mare about 7 hands high is going to be my plow horse this spring and summer!  She is supposedly broke to drive, we'll see, and since we are putting in a huge garden and pumpkin patch she has a lot of work ahead of her!!
