Every zoo is technically a petting zoo, unless you’re a little b!tch….

Well the horses are real, and not emotional support, but… yeah…

Yes, they're real service animals. I'm just wondering "why"?

i dunno. I think the horses are very perceptive of human behavior changes and could also be helpful for their sturdiness with people having mobility issues. There is this lady in my hood with cerebral palsy that uses a massive Great Dane to help her walk without a walker (useful in a city that is very often not ADA compliant).


for people with Dog allergies?

The idea behind the service miniature horse is lifespan.

It takes years to train a dog to be a true service dog and then you only get 7 or 8 years of service with them. A miniature horse can live 25 years.

Person with an ESA: Oh my god. Life is hard. People give my anxiety. I can’t leave the house.

Also person with an ESA: I think I’ll fly across the country in a man-made machine dodging thunderstorms with a hundred people surrounding me.

Poodles. But I guess mobility would benefit from a larger animal. A standard poodle is not small, but it's not a horse either.

That makes some sense. But not on airplanes.
