I used to attend games with my ex wife. She fell under this standard.

 

Was she glad you were a mule so children were out of question?

Can a miniature horse be claimed as a service animal?

 

ADA regulations from the DOJ state that dogs are the only species permitted to be service animals, with the single possible exception of miniature horses. As with their canine counterparts, miniature horses must be individually trained to perform a specific task for a person with a disability.

Nah. She was glad I'm a mule for much much "larger" reasons. Thank you for pointing it out.

 

I am sure your ears are ticklish but you are no Ferengi so you do not get om-mox.

Why a Miniature Horse?

Miniature horses have many strengths that make them suitable as potential service animals. Typically ranging from 24–34 inches in height and weighing 71–100 pounds, these strong animals can push and pull heavy objects. They can offer both balance and mobility assistance to a handler. They are intelligent and possess excellent eyesight, including 350-degree peripheral vision and night vision. They often serve as guide animals for individuals with vision-related disabilities. Miniature horses can carry out most, if not all, possible tasks of a service dog.

Why Not a Service Dog?

Some individuals prefer a miniature horse over a dog for their service animal. For one thing, miniature horses have a much greater longevity. They can live 25–30 years and offer a long service life of up to 20 years. For dogs, this time is much shorter. Another benefit of miniature horses is that they are easy to groom and shed fewer allergens than dogs. For many service animal handlers, this makes caring for their animal easier. Finally, miniature horses are an alternative for those who will not work with a dog for cultural or religious reasons.

According to the HighMark Stadium accessibility guidelines you can bring your miniature horse to the game!!

Service Animals

Animals are not permitted inside Highmark Stadium, with the exception of service dogs and miniature horses.

 

It is ADA ruling. Bills are just following rules although if they followed rules fully many fans would not be admitted due to excess alcohol use.

Someone, please bring your miniature horse to a game and post it here!!

I've heard it's discrimination to ask if your animal is a service animal so you could technically bring any animal to the game if I'm not mistaken 🤔

So help me Christ if I buy a ticket and someone is trying to wedge in a horse next to me. Dealt with it on an airplane once and it was ridiculous.

These are true service dogs

 

You are a douchebag if you take your dog with you, especially on an airplane, as a service dog when it is not entirely. 

 

Too many people do this with dogs that are aggressive, stupid, aren't trained for anything. Emotional support doesn't cut it.

Thanks for this critical info I can bring my pony.  Will they provide me with a pooper scooper?  If not, that’s PROFILIN. (Ron White reference)

It's not illegal to ask what they are suited for, trained for.

 

The go-around of legality is saying that the owner is not in custody of their animal (the animal is not behaving). This is subtle.

 

Few businesses want to get into that grey area. I've been in Lowes (and other places) where people have dogs as service animals that are not service animals. I've made comments that their dog was not legal.  They get mad

 

 

A true service animal will never be social, happy, or look to engage people. They're working. A solid tell is if someone is letting people pet their dog, they are carrying their dog, or their dog is on a simple leash. 

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
