It is interesting about the seeing eye miniature horse, I heard they work
great!
A major benefit for both the seeing eye and air scent horses are that their
useful
life is over twice that of a k9, so you get more benifit from your training
time. <<
Terry, a very good point regarding life span and return on your training
investment. So I have a new mission for you. Train the miniature horse /
small pony / donkey for air scenting. That small equine can also double as a
pack animal. ;)
