#1 The trial of this case will be a nightmare, especially if the lawyers are stallion for time and the judge gets up on a high horse. They really should try to work out a saddlement.

#2 These miniature guide horses are serious, and no bigger than some guide dogs. They are desired because they live a lot longer. For indoor use they put little sneakers on them. They are also seriously cute - if I was a young blind man I would absolutely get one for use as a chick magnet.

#3 They shed much worse than a dog. Horses need to be outside. It's amazing how much even a small horse can poop. They drink much more water than dogs, too.

About a year ago, I heard a lecture by a guy who trains guide dogs. One of the major points of their training is to train them to hold it, and to only "go" in a particular spot, and only when the owner puts them out to "go."

Don't know if the can do that with a horse or not.

#4 A lady in my neighborhood was walking one of those the other day. But we live near some fields. It was very cute.

Isn't Monpelier fairly rural? Why doesn't the woman just get a place that can better accomodate her horse in an outside stall? How hard could that be?

#5 Not the point according to Cooper, Woozle Grereck5422, she's "entitled".

#6 What happens if the horse spooks?

The lady gets a complimentary E-Ticket ride.

#7 LOL, Zenster!! If any of my horses spook I get a Rodeo Ride. I've seen what happens when a horse pulling a carriage spooks.
