How much does it cost to purchase a guide horse?

Answer 1

There is a common misconception about the term "seeing eye." The "Seeing Eye" is a trademark of the Seeing Eye in Morristown New Jersey. They train only dogs, not ponies or miniature horses. Because "Seeing Eye" is a trade mark, there are NO "Seeing Eye Ponies."

However, the Guide Horse Foundation trains miniature horses as guides. It funds its guide horses through charitable donations. There is no charge to the recipient. Changes in the wording of the federal regulations for service animals, including guide animals, which are expected to go into effect January 1, 2009 will exclude miniature horses as acceptable animals for service work. "The term service animal does not include wild animals (including nonhuman primates born in captivity), reptiles, rabbits, farm animals (including any breed of horse, miniature horse, pony, pig, or goat), ferrets, amphibians, and rodents." Will be added to the definition of "service animal" in 28 C.F.R. 36.104.
