When we ride my more detailed eyesight.....
Must disagree on that. Noticed while I was still in my 'teens that when the horse suddenly "comes to attention" (motionless, head up, ears forward), if I stared intently in the same direction I eventually saw a guy's head and shoulders coming over a hill 3 properties over. Other times it would be a deer in the tree line a quarter mile away. Horses vision may be monochromatic, but it's about 330 degree view and way sharper than human vision. (Usually. YMMV. I had a pony once that was nearly bat blind, her eyes bulged in a very unnatural way.)
