Best Answer

Due to the placement of their eyes, they see very differently than a human. For instance, they cannot see anything directly in front of them but can see things behind them. Also, they cannot see nearly as wide a range of colors as humans. There is often debate over whether they can see color at all but most sources say they can see blues and yellows. Another thing is that horses have far superior night vision.

What are two visual blind spots that horses have?

Believe it or not, they are where you would never expect. One directly in front of them, and another directly behind them (Though, that one you would probably expect). You see, a horse's eyes aren't like a humans, a humans pupil is placed directly in the center of the eye ball, when a horses is a little bit off on that. Because of that, it can't see directly in front of him. It CAN however, see everywhere else *not including the back*.
