[nagdu] minature horses as guides

[Tracy Carcione]

Mini horses are around the size of a German shepherd, at the withers
(shoulders), though of course the neck is longer.  Ann's mini is the size of
a large shepherd, about up to my hip, if I remember right; it's been a long
while since I met Panda.

Ok I have to ask.
How can a horse guide when you sit on it?
Also, where would it live? I don't exactly have a stable in my yard lol.
