My newborn foal has blue eyes. Does this mean she'll be blind?

Question

I have a foal that is 2 days old. She has really light eyes, I think they're blue. Does that mean that she's gonna have health issues (like blindnes)? Pet's info: Farm Animal | Horse | Female | unspayed | 2 days old

Not necessarily. It is a matter of genetics. Horses with light colored coats typically have light or blue eyed foals. You may see a darkening of eye color as the foal ages but this doesn't always happen.
