This animal welfare incident report documents a case involving a 20-25 year old bilaterally blind chestnut pony mare (collar K 5065) identified at export registered establishment 3416 on 23 February 2021. The animal arrived as part of a lot of 33 horses and was observed reluctant to unload, requiring physical assistance down the ramp. On-plant veterinary inspection confirmed bilateral blindness through clinical assessment including fixed and dilated pupils and absence of menace response. The incident was detected during unloading at 07:25, approximately five minutes after the horses' arrival. The report was generated by Department of Agriculture and Water Resources on-plant veterinary officers and required distribution to relevant state/territory authorities and establishment management per standard animal welfare incident reporting protocols for export abattoirs.
