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.
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.

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).
