Jaydee Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Miniature horses still allowed to fly as service animals, Department of Transportation announces Giddy up! The U.S. Department of Transportation has announced that miniature horses are still officially allowed to fly as service animals in all cabins of commercial planes, in a statement aiming to define the guidelines regarding protections for emotional support and psychiatric service cats, dogs and the tiny equines. Last Thursday, the agency released its final statement of enforcement priorities for service animals, clarifying the federal government’s policies for what types of animals should always be allowed to travel with their owners. In recent months, both public and professional organizations, including the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA), have urged lawmakers to review the rules for service animal designations during air travel, to combat an alleged culture of “rampant abuse” of protocol. The AFA claimed that the matter was escalating into a “safety, health, and security issue” that was “negatively affecting all passengers.” https://www.foxnews.com/travel/miniature-horses-allowed-fly-service-animals-dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blues deville Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 No problem with the horse but how do we get a pitchfork through security? Ice tongs can only scoop so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 The good thing a about an "emotional support horse" is that it serves a dual purpose - emotional support and also replaces the golf cart as transportation between gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
