Woman Brings Mini Service Horse On Flight
The US Department of Transportation said last year that miniature horses are acceptable to ride on planes as service animals, which is good news for one Michigan woman.
Ronica Froese booked her and her mini horse companion first-class tickets to California and back last week. She says the bulkhead seats cost “an arm and a leg,” but gave Fred the space needed to travel.
Speaking to WXMI, Froese revealed that she had no problems clearing airport security and those on her flight were “sweet as pie” to them both.
Passengers have recently complained to the DOT about more unusual service animals, leading the federal agency to consider only allowing dogs onboard.
