Seeing-Eye Horse Kicks Up Controversy

A Texas woman has sparked controversy with her use of a seeing-eye horse. Tabitha Darling is legally blind and has a bone condition that makes walking painful. She uses her seeing-eye pony, Trixie, to help her get around and shop, but not everyone agrees that a horse is the right animal for the job. Personally, I'm glad that service animals are finally breaking out of their stereotypes. I see the patient diligence of the bomb-sniffing sloth, and the soothing aquatic environment of the cancer-detecting manatee, as a plus.
