That's right, mini-horses for the blind. http://www.guidehorse.org/ http://www.guidehorse.org/photo_page.htm
Revel in their cuteness.
P.S.
Da wittle horses have wittle sneakers too.

| I heard about these a few years ago on a morning show in Portland. I didn't really belive that they existed.
I find the sneakers to be a little much, couldn't they find an alternative, like rubber horse shoes or something.

| It's a good thing that I don't have nuts. They're all in the fridge. Oo, who likes glazed nuts? I make them.

| I have two horrible things to say  :
1. Their cuteness is wasted on the blind.
2. They would make great stuffed animals. | |

| Throws finger doesn't mean a bad word, it's the motion that you make when you say shame on someone. I don't cuss. EVER.

It's "biggs", like "big." It was my nickname from the kids on the bus in like 4th grade. It was because of the size of my head.
And I didn't think that "throws finger" was a bad word, but I thought it sounded kinda messy. | |

| Unlike a dog, if you break your leg you can ride the horse to the hospital. Well, lean on it and limp, at least. | |
