Horse Calved to Sight Levi Sees After Cataract Surgery
A 6 year old Mustang named Levi, rescued by Jay Miller, underwent cataract removal at Kansas State University Veterinary Hospital. Veterinarians and ophthalmology students watched as Levi regained sight, enabling him to view Miller and her surroundings for the first time. Miller aims to continue Extreme Mustang Makeover training, with Levi set to compete in the Extreme Cowboy Challenge next year. Levi’s recovery shows renewed trust and progress toward future horsemanship trials.
