Good morning, Deb.
From my understanding, miniature horses make very good guide animals.  They
function as a "seeing eye dog"- or in this case, horse.  The advantage of
the seeing eye horse is that they can live several decades. The individual
using the miniature horse does not need to go through the adjustment period
of several seeing eye dogs over the course of their life. The dogs do not
live as long and cannot provide as many years of service.
Sincerely,
Lisa Riopell

Okay, I'll bite. What does a miniature horse do as a guide animal?
