Horses in harness for disabled people

Miniature guide horses are being introduced as an alternative to
guide and assistance dogs to help blind and disabled people to live
independently.
At a Mobility Roadshow to be held in June, miniature guide horse
trainers Mobility Warehouse will demonstrate how focused the horses
are in their work.
The star attraction at the event will be Rosie, the miniature guide
horse, who is being trained to pull a wheelchair, enter buses, and
use escalators.
