Miniature horses aren’t typically animals we think of that could be trained to help those with disabilities, but according to advocates they have a high aptitude to serve. Under a new bill, they could be one of two animals qualified to be a service animal.
The two animals allowed under the legislation would be dogs and miniature horses.
Fisher’s miniature horse, Wrangler, currently serves as a traveling emotional support animal. She hopes establishing a code in Indiana that allows miniature horses to be service animals, will help to get more people interested in training them. "It does give that business owner the right that if the service animal is acting up and being aggressive towards other patrons that they can ask that individual to remove the service animal from the business,"Hannah Carlock with The Arc of Indiana said.
