Best Answer

horses have a great sense of direction and sense of everything there eye sight is fine but in the dark their eye sight is like any of us dull and quite weak.

Answer 2:

Horses see far better in the dark than humans do and can easily navigate in the dark. Being able to see at night is a key attribute to most prey animals.

Far more than anyone gives them credit for. They don't see as many colors as human eyes but they are masters of subtlety. Although they will never tell you, they can read you like a book, in about 3 seconds. They take body language to an entirely new level and your horse will know you better than you do yourself. They also can see most of what it behind them without turning their heads. So the next time you meet a horse ask him how you'redoing, he already knows.

Animals who have heighted nocturnal vision usually have larger eyes and pupils to take in more light. They will have more "rod" type cells for their retina instead of the standard cones which humans have (this is more for nocturnal animals such as owls). They will also have a reflective membrane called the tapetum lucidum which reflects light back to the retina a second time so they can see more clearly in low light (you can see this by flashing over their eyes with lighT; the membrane reflects or flashs green Or red in color).

no, I'd say not since their vision is much worse than ours in the day, but I could be wrong.
