[NAGDU] not sure if this post is allowed but have a question

[Buddy Brannan]

Hmm...I'd sure like to see one, too. I'm not so sure a horse would be a great fit for my urban small residential lot, but I've been intrigued by the whole miniature horse guide thing since I first read about them.

>> Hey Ricky,
>> 
>> Baltimore has nothing to do with this. Miniature horses are, indeed, part of the ADA definition of service animal. 
>> 
>> You are correct, however, that your friends are badly informed. A shocker, I know, you can pick yourself up off the floor now. Apparently one can house train a horse. But even besides that, they wear a diaper for those happy fun horse presents so that your hapless friends don't step in them. They might also wear little cut down tennis shoes. Anne can address this better, seeing as how she has a guide horse, and I'm fairly certain her horse doesn't take a dump wherever it likes for people to just step in. 
>> 
>> I'd have more of a concern about the horse at rest, since you can't exactly put one under your chair since they don't really lie down. If you took an Uber, I'd think you really *would* ned an SUV at the very least. That would be more of a hindrance to me, but maybe not.

>>> I read on a FB post that Baltimore has approved miniature horses as service animals in the schools. The person and their friends who were posting were not informed about service animals and were even equating the horses to our dogs. I was just wondering how others felt about miniature horses as service animals. They were making comments like oh I guess they are going to let the horses just take a crap any where so we can step in it. It has me really pissed off and upset.
