I'm not an expert, but some obvious symptoms would be: The horse would bump into some things The eye could start to cloud over The horse starts using his/her other senses (hearing, smelling) alot more He/She touches things with his body/face before getting too close Talking to other horses more, sometimes sounding desperate So, basically anything that you would do if you you couldn't see and couldn't communicate with people.

How does a horse change when it ages?

* Well, not ALL horses go blind, lose their teeth, and get weakened bones. That happens to some horses, depending on their "careers".
