Having problems with message search?
| Thank You, Jennifer! I will so be looking forward to your kind response per John Lyons and the issue where my attempted awserwers appeared! I do (FYI) know, per searching, that the App Association and their (non) responses, to me, have been slow, or nil, until I called U, per your request. I simply had to call U and, I apologize, if I startled U to get a response....my e mail requests failed, time & again. Not your fault. However, I do thank U for your help and diligence per my call! Also, we do have a major event, here in PA. It involves John Lyons and some info, folks wanting to know abought Bright Zip. I have had MANY questions about Zip. Your links to inductees into the App Hall of fame stink. I cannot even find Zip. Well, I did get his initial/pedigree info. I received a generic answer while asking about your 'Hall of Fame' inductees. If U are able to send me a direct link to pass on to my clients, that would be super! Most do not even know Zip has passed! I do have Zip's 'Lyons 'page. I do have his lineage from U. I do have John's
info. Where is yours per this most awesome Horse ? I know it's not U, but when we want to read about the inductees, well....there is no link! How about the other Apps? My orders per ' The Holy Cross' were send and I have received payment in due. Many Thanks! My Best, Jill Claire |

Well, App people could not help! Here's what I have on Zip so far. I also know he was a Breyer model.

After working a young Mustang off the back of a stock trailer for his 'seminar', he had a ceremonial upon closing. He laid Zip down. John sat in the dirt with him. He told. He cried. He sat with his horse. Zip had no bridle nor saddle during any of this. There were some old sceptics in the stands. No one had a dry eye. Old cowboys with big spurs. He & the Zip were amazing! I think it was in the wee hours of the morning.
At this time, I had been competing, successfully, my blind Edurance Horse, Ja Jaribe. He was blind. 1st Lightweigt, New York 100 that year. I did not know it at that time. He shut down in Nebraska, but not without leading the pack. He had won honors, and not following my instincts and stupidity at that time, I did not even realize that he could not see. It was trust. I thought it was me. John signed my book, when we shared our 'blindness' faith, that day in Dayton, Ohio.
I do believe that Zip has been inducted into the Appaloosa 'Hall of Fame' for his excellence.
If U do not know John Lyons, well GO!
Thanks, Jill & Ja

I remember reading that his blindness was the result of a reaction to medication he was being treated with, not "moon blindness" that is commonly thought of in apps.I have an older app that's had intermittent uveitis for years now. She gets along very well with no special change to her environment needed. But her blindness is gradual so I'm sure that plays a big role in her acceptance. On the other hand, Bright Zip's blindness was sudden. With all that he did to say that he was trusting and accepting is putting it lightly!Sharing your experiences for others who may face a similar situation is a great idea!

him at Equine Affaire years ago after he went blind, but haven't heard
if Zip is still with us or not. How ironic, because my own horse went
blind. I am thinking of writing the story of my blind horse to help
others who may get into that situation. When it happened for me, it
was such an emotional time and I got bad information from "well-
meaning" people. Anyway, Zip seemed luck such a special horse, but I
know he'd have to be pretty old by now if he's still alive.
