Horses actually have great night vision! A layer in the horses' eye called the tapetum lucidum greatly intensifies light and reflects that light back on to their retina, which make horses well equipped to see in the dark, much like a nocturnal animal. (It's also why a horses' eyes get that eerie green glow if you shine a flashlight towards them in the dark). To appreciate their night vision, consider this: when the electricity goes out, you and I may slowly grope and feel our way through the blackness of our house that we're very familiar with (and still do a flying squirrel maneuver over the coffee table!), while a horse can run a winding trail at night, weaving its way through trees with little to no difficulty.

depends on your definition of "good" cats have excellent night vision and motion Sensitivity. But overall vision (resolution) is basically determined by eye/pupal size and cats are similar to ours. so to get the better night vision and motion Sensitivity they give up other areas. Cats are extremely near sighted, vision is believed to be blurry and colors washed over. bovine and horses with their larger eyes have excellent vision
