I think my Crazy Hunter is the best thing I've ever done," Kay Boyle wrote to her sister Joan in 1939, two weeks after she had finished writing it. Twenty years later she wrote to a friend, it "remains one of my best, I think." This stunning short novel portrays a family - an almost grown young woman, her mother, and her drunkard father - and a magnificent blind gelding. Powerful and businesslike, the mother is determined to put the blind horse down; her daughter is determined to save him.

‘El caballo ciego’, una narración de perfección asombrosa, JM Guelbenzu, El País 23.07.2022: https://elpais.com/babelia/2022-07-23/el-caballo-ciego-una-narracion-de-perfecci...

This is the story of a rich, spoiled, teenage girl who has a rich mother, and a drunken "useless" father who makes rash purchases when he's drinking.
It's the summer, when young Nancy has come home from boarding school when she finds a beautiful"Hunter" gelded horse in the stables that her father had bought without checking the pedigree. As she's walking with him one day, he suddenly goes blind. She's determined to train him to run and jump like a sighted horse, but her mother is dead set on "putting him down."

P.39
" 'Ah, don't make fun of him!' she said in sudden pain. 'Everyone ridiculing him and jeering at him as if he were the stable freak simply because he isn't to sire or foal or isn't a colt, or isn't to train, or hasn't a single action he's expected to perform! Simply to look the fool and hack around, but I didn't think you'd feel that about him --' "
Clearly the author's allusion to the father, as well, as he hasn't any of his own money, and does absolutely nothing to "earn his keep" in the family's horse-breeding business. ( )
