[nagdu] Miniature horses & the ADA

My friend says her mini horse needs to be relieved every two hours when out 
in public.  I don't think her horse has had any acidents inside a store or 
anything like that.  At home, the horse has a stall with hay and straw in it 
where he's confined for the night. Also, a grass area in her yard.

Personally, I think a guide horse is better for someone who lives out in the 
rural areas and not in city areas in an apartment.  My friend lives in a 
very rural area in the South.  that's just me, others may differ and that's 
okay. (grin!)

I didn't know that. Interesting! How often would a mini pony need to
go out, do you think?
