[NAGDU] Mackinac Island

[carcione at access.net]

I haven't been to Mackinack, though it sounds great.  I have walked near
horses and carriages several times, and my dogs haven't cared a bit.  I
think I was more excited about it than they were.

Back in the '90's, the NFB convention was in New Orleans, and I came with my
fairly new dog Echo.  One of the fun things we did was take a carriage tour.
The carriage was high, and I thought I'd have to lift Echo up into it, but
she climbed up the ladder on the wheel like she'd been doing such things all
her life.  I was amazed.

Hi all. Has anybody ever been to Mackinac Island with their guide dogs? If
so, I would love to hear about your experiences. I understand that the
island has no vehicles on it so it has bikes, horse and carriage, are you
walk places. How has your guide dog reacted to a horse? Is there some
preparation I can do with omega in terms of exposing her to a horse so she
won't be scared by them? My husband and I are thinking about going this
summer. Thanks.
Leslie and Omega
