Im so sorry this is happening to your horse.
I too have had to put a horse down in the past and it is not an easy decision. I guess first of all, do you have proper housing for a blind horse? Even the most docile loving horse can become panicked, especially a newly blind horse. I did a quick google this morning, and from what I read it is very painful to the animal, and gets worse each time the eye gets inflamed. Has the blind eye been removed? You have my sympathy.. I really know what a tough decision you have to make. I know which one I would make, but I have no emotional involvement and dont know the animal.

I've never dealt with it before, so don't have any advice I could offer. I knew a guy once who's horse had it, but it only took the one eye. They had the vet medicate the horse. It can still be ridden, but is a bit shy on that side due to the impaired vision. There is a great horse vet over by antler hill on the QE2 (south of RD) if that helps at all... In the meantime consider buying a guardian type fly mask to keep the sun and bugs out of his/her eyes. Here are some links I found.
