Strong Horse   [Mark Steyn]

Presenting . . . the seeing-eye horse:

Ramouni lost her sight to retinopathy of prematurity shortly after birth. She relies on her family to guide her around the Detroit suburbs where she's lived, studied and worked for all of her 28 years.

She wants more independence, but a traditional guide dog isn't an option...While most Muslims believe dogs can violate ritual purity, horses are seen as "regal animals"...

Wait'll you see the sensitivity training settlement when the first blind imam is kicked off a flight at Minneapolis for asking if he can put his beloved Trigger in the next seat.
