(9) Miniature horses. (i) A public accommodation shall make
reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures to
permit the use of a miniature horse by an individual with a
disability if the miniature horse has been individually trained
to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of the individual
with a disability.

(ii) Assessment factors. In determining whether reasonable
modifications in policies, practices, or procedures can be made
to allow a miniature horse into a specific facility, a public
accommodation shall consider--

(A) The type, size, and weight of the miniature horse and whether
the facility can accommodate these features; 

(B) Whether the handler has sufficient control of the miniature
horse; 

(C) Whether the miniature horse is housebroken; and

(D) Whether the miniature horse´s presence in a specific facility
compromises legitimate safety requirements that are necessary for
safe operation.

(iii) Other requirements. Sections 36.302(c)(3) through (c)(8),
which apply to service animals, shall also apply to miniature
horses.
