Sue Ellen Lovett (NSW) riding 'everybody's favourite horse' Mighty Heights.
Sue Ellen needs the assistance of people standing at each arena
marker in white coats so that she can see them.  She has only 2 - 3 %
vision in each eye.  She gave me a look through specially modified goggles
to give an idea of what she sees.  There are two tiny holes in each blackened
lense - this very narrow tunnel of vision is all that Sue Ellen has.
Mighty Heights worked very well for her and they were
overall Grade 4 Champions.  -  well done !!!
