How about Grey or Arabian horses? Do you know if Dusk is an issue for horses as shadows develop? My horse seems to be having spooking and bucking problems while performing Dressage at dusk. As soon as we are in light he is fine.

It is in the Eye Disease section Corinne: Diseases of Horses » Eye Diseases » Night Blindness in Horses. Dusk is an issue with all animals, no one sees as well in the dusk as the bright light. However grey Arabs are not likely to have CSNB.
