They have long eyelashes so those definitely help, but I think when it's sandy and your riding a horse if it is a stubborn horse it'll stop, or it will just blink a lot and make sounds and movements showing it's discomfort. If you are not riding the horse and there is sand coming towards its eyes it will probably close its eyes.

Do Horses have blue eyes?

Some horses, especially Paint or pinto horses, will have one or two blue eyes. This is because just as their white spots result from a lack of pigment in their skin and coat, a lack of pigment in their eyes makes them blue instead of brown. There is also a coloration of horse known as "perlino"; these horses are like albinos but whereas albinos have pink eyes perlinos have blue eyes. The blue eyes are just as good as normal brown eyes as far as vision goes, although pink-eyed albinos sometimes have problems with vision.


How does sand get in your eye when you sleep?

The plica (PLY-ka) semilunaris (sem-ee-LOO-ner-is), which is located around the eye was thought to have no function. But eventually it was discovered that this "useless" organ has an important function after all. In fact, it is the "crusty" factory. It secretes a sticky mass that collects any foreign materials such as dust or pollen. All this trash is surrounded by the sticky gook so that it does not scratch the sensitive cornea in your eye. Once the garbage is collected, the plica semilunaris "escorts" it out of the eye just like a security guard would escort noisy troublemakers out of a theater.

Can you keep your eyes still?

It is possible to keep the eyes still (or, at least, convince your brain that's what's happening) by sitting in the near-dark and focusing your eyes on a single point. You will notice your vision becoming darker and more blurred, until you can't see anything at all. It is difficult to hold this, though, as the eye has been trained since birth to keep moving, especially in new situations (such as becoming blind in the near-dark).
