WestJet crews are probably happy it wasn’t riding with them. Imagine grooming after a big oat steamer.

We wouldn’t even be having this discussion because we’d all still be riding horses.

If we didn't have rules and common sense, we would all be locked up in some institution due to incessant overdoses, murders and other foolish things !We wouldn’t even be having this discussion because we’d all still be riding horses.
The funny thing is most liberals are simply too stupid to know just how stupid they are ( The dunning-kruger effect ) "people who are too ignorant to know how ignorant they are".

I don't consider someone who gives unsolicited polarized political and social commentary in over half their posts on an aviation forum to be the last bastion of common sense.corethatthermal wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 9:14 pm

And imagine the state of the world if weak people who desperately need to feel special at all times were allowed to indulge their every whim.
If you can't travel without your horse there to make you feel ok, don't buy a plane ticket. Buy a covered wagon.

Someone who admits they have a problem and does something strange to correct it rather than ‘sucking it up’ and winding up dead like so many people who buy into that toxic attitude?
Or someone who is triggered by something that isn’t ‘normal’ but doesn’t affect them and is none of their god damn business?
Re: Woman Takes Her Miniature Service HORSE on Flight
I approve some rather unusual things to be carried on aircraft (though never a horse - yet). While considering the design standards to be met, and overall safety, I primarily consider two factors: Could the item carried create a hazard by becoming loose in the occupied area and injuring someone, or them injuring themselves, or otherwise make the plane less flyable? And, could the item emit anything which would create a hazard or unmanagable environment for the cabin occupants?something that isn’t ‘normal’ but doesn’t affect them and is none of their god damn business?
Considering the mass of a horse (even miniature), and probable difficulty in securing it against movement in the cabin, and the possibilities of emissions from the horse, I'm uneasy about this....

Re: Woman Takes Her Miniature Service HORSE on Flight
Guys,
This reminds me of the story my father told me. When him and his brother were young my grandfather bought a miniature pony for them and they picked it up in a 1937 Dodge. It was standing in the back between the front and rear seats with their uncle and the two boys. The horse started to crap and my uncle used his fedora hat to catch the crap.

Re: Woman Takes Her Miniature Service HORSE on Flight
Yea, considering the person who smoked on the plane lately, good thing it wasn't the same flight as the Horse flight or there could have be an ON-BOARD EXPLOSION !and the possibilities of emissions from the horse,
Re: Woman Takes Her Miniature Service HORSE on Flight
Back in the day when the certification process required a demonstration of the passenger evacuation to be achieved in a set time .
No consideration was made in the evacuations process for slow stupid people retreaving their precious carry on luggage from overhead bins and slowing the process .
I can only imagine what a partially trained service animal as large as a small pony in a panic might affect the evacuations process .
Large animals should be flown as cargo in the cargo hold under veterinary supervision .
The Race horses that are flown by stables would never let their prize horses share the same space as dirty cattle class passengers .
Anything that would effect the emergency egress should be mitigated off the flight . That goes for obscenely obese people that would block emergency exits in the highly unlikely event requiring emergency egress.
Flying is a privilage, not a right or a human rights issue .
If a persons lifestyle choices would effect the standard of safety that the aircraft is certified for. Then perhaps a specialised private charter might be the best option for such travellers .Rather than one persons lifestyle endangering other standard passengers flying a standard certified aircraft under the present certification standards.
What would happen if twenty ponies turned up for a flight ? Or if one of the mares came into heat during the flight ?
How many cabin staff are trained and capable of handling Rutting Stallions ?

I've seen lots of Rutting Stallions on flights. Never did a flight attendant have to interfere or interject! That I know of.

Re: Woman Takes Her Miniature Service HORSE on Flight
I'm fairly confident that no one has ever died from flying without a horse next to them. After all, it's not about doing "something strange" to correct a problem. It's about doing it to feel special.
