I wonder if it was a service horse [1]:
> Under the regulations for Title II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) from the Department of Justice (DOJ), a service animal must be a dog and no other species of animal. However, there is a single exception to this rule: miniature horses.

- technothrasher 3y agoAir travel accommodations for people with disabilities are covered under the Air Carrier Access Act, not the Americans with Disabilities Act. Under the ACAA, airlines do not have to accommodate service horses. I do believe there was a case a couple years ago, however, of an airline allowing a service horse on board.
- alexjplant 3y agoInteresting. The only reason I know about service horses being a thing was because Southwest used to allow you to bring them [1]. Looks like it's changed since I last checked [2].

- pimlottc 3y agoThe article specifically says the animal was in the cargo hold, so probably not.
- seanhunter 3y agoNow I want an emotional support miniature horse. Is that so very wrong?
