An eye specialist came to see her yesterday.

He is inclined to think that the eye cannot be saved anyway.

THE TWITCH

The twitch consists of a loop of string on the end of a stick. You put the loop around the top lip of the horse and twist the handle around until the loop has grabbed tight on the lip causing it to look like a ball with whiskers on it.

This has the effect of tranquilizing the horse, subduing it and enabling the handler increased control and safety from injury. (although not guaranteed) On the vast number of occasions, this control device does the job.

Obviously, the twitch should be used as a last resort and kept for occasions such as helping the horse through treating a wound or some other injury, dispensing medication, worming or clipping. (I don't include clipping in the helping the horse. )
