You just have to smile. This guy. Popeye. Muscular and blind in one eye just like Popeye the Sailor man, hence the name.
He is one of the stable horses, but he is also used in the therapeutic riding program. He is one of the favorites. One of the riders that no longer rides him still brings him a bag of carrots. Who can blame them.
As for Pops…there’s not a lot else to say about this guy. Mainly because I think that the picture says it all. Popeye in all of his glory (and he’s had a few Olive Oyls I’m sure. One I know of for sure). Hope you enjoy this picture as much as I do.
Have a beautiful day and tomorrow.

how did he lose his eye?

I don’t quite remember. He had an infection and they couldn’t save the eye. I just can’t recall if the infection was initially caused by an injury. I’m thinking one of the one-eyed beauties lost his eye due to injury. I just can’t remember which one.

several of my bear friends have one eye but they lost their eye due to another bear swiping them!
