While I did have a blind horse who went sidesaddle and loved to jump, that was Diamond O' Galway, the blind Connemara (C.W. Anderson used him as the inspiration for his last book). Isaac--Der Freischutz--was indeed my sidesaddle partner for many years. We still miss him. Also, the horse in the photo shown here (which should be credited to Pleasure Prints) is not Isaac, although he does resemble Isaac to a considerable degree. This horse is an Irish hunter named Houghton's Ruby ("Harry"), owned by Roger Philpot of Kineton, Warwickshire--I had the pleasure of showing Harry several summers in England.
