Miniature Horses Officially Allowed
on Planes as Service Animals.
The U.S. Department of Transportation
announced their decision to authorize
miniature horses in aircrafts on August 8.
In this Final Statement, after reviewing the
comments on this issue, we believe that it
would be in the public interest and within our
discretionary authority to prioritize ensuring
that the most commonly recognized service
animals (i.e., dogs, cats, and miniature horses)
are accepted for transport, U.S. Department of Transportation, via statement .
Miniature horses are officially recognized as legitimate
service animals in the Americans with Disabilities Act.
It is not required they be restrained in a
specific way when in the aircraft cabin, but
airlines are allowed to use “case-by-case” logic. .
Airlines such as American, United and Southwest
already allow miniature horses aboard their flights.
This declaration now makes it mandatory
that all other U.S. airlines follow suit, with
a risk of punishment if they don't comply. .
