I saw that on the earthlink streamer! Is this great or what!
Wonder who all will let a guidehorse into their restaurants though? Airplanes?

But at only 120 pounds maybe she's just a tall dog?

Re: Tiny horse is a big help to blind owner
The idea of using miniature horses as guides for the blind was started by a horse trainer, Janet Burleson and her husband Don Burleson, who is a well-known Oracle computer expert. In addition to training miniature horses for the blind, they also rescue crippled miniature horses, and have other full-size horses and cats and dogs as well. They helped start a guide horse foundation and there is a book available about it as well:
