    Surely horses have a bigger blind spot than that, or else the binocular area would be smaller. You’re telling me an individual horse eye field of view is like 200 degrees?

      Horses apparently have a blind spot directly behind them, and directly in front of them, but can otherwise see everything with one eye most of the time. Their fov with one eye is 350°. They also have very little depth perception since only a small part of their vision is binocular, which I would assume is part of why they get so easily spooked
