The wee cutie looks like he is enjoying himself.
Isn't it funny, I don't get that impression at all.He looks scared shitless to me

I don't believe the use of a preyed upon herd animal as a guide animal is fair, nor does it make any sense.
It's a gimmick, and a bad one.
It seems to have started in the US, why does that not surprise me, and this is the first over here to be trained as a guide pony, I just cannot see how it can be relied on or trained in the way a dog can to genuinely work for a blind person without a lot of continual support, even the daily care requires so much more than a dog and it can hardly have a run in the local park to kick up it's heels when it needs to.
Yes, this is what I thought too, it's completely ridiculous. Horses have lots of qulaities that make them suitable for lots of diffferent jobs and roles, this is not one of them.I don't believe the use of a preyed upon herd animal as a guide animal is fair, nor does it make any sense.
