| Renee | I love this idea. Having owned horses myself, I believe a horse would be excellent in guiding a blind person. | 11/22/2010 |
| Jah2459 | I am looking in to this option for my 21yr old daughter with disabilities who has a fear of open spaces. Walking across a hallway is impossible for her to do unassisted. She has to rely on a person to hold on to. The horse guide would work wonders in helping her to be independant. How do we find out about getting one? | 9/23/2009 |

| Remy Leclare | I like how some people use horses insted of dogs as guides. | 3/20/2008 |
| roxy | i think horses are the bomb. i like dogs as wel but they are attention seekers so if there is a big crowed they would want to run over to the crowd. horses are not attention seekers so i think thay would be best because of that. and im not saying that i dont like dogs because i love all animals. than for reading. xx | 3/3/2008 |

| Sharon Johnson | Are these miniature horses also trained for someone who has COPD & arthritis as disabilities or is it just for the blind? My husband has been asking about this as a possible solution to carrying his oxygen pack, assistance when walking or getting up and down, & as a companion while I am at work during the day. | 4/24/2007 |
| STEVE CHASTAIN | CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE TO BUY A HARNESS FOR A GUIDE HORSE? | 3/14/2007 |

| Tabatha | fantabulous!! | 12/18/2006 |
| vickie | Please help me. I'm physically challenged. I'm not blind. My knees are shot and at this time, inoperable. I heard a woman tell me a story of her knees and legs disibility and then watched her bounce of a 17h very expencive mount. I would need a pony cart and something I wouldn't have to bounce from. I already have a ramp in mind to have my husband build in case I wanted to ride. But for now, pony cart seems safer. I used to trail ride. I also snow skiied many years, thus the legs/knees being shot. Please help me. I promise to help others. I have 10 acres with close access/ next farm over/ to a new arena and a quarter horse ranch. There are 7 of us on our ranch and we live in a small town. | 11/20/2006 |
