    I'd be more worried about the farting but maybe the miniature horses are better trained in general than the smaller pets that people bring on American planes. I can only imagine what happens when someone's dog smells that there's a cat in the same plane cabin or vice versa.

    Service and support animals SHOULD be trained to ignore or at least be non-reactive to other animals. Our dogs and cats live peacefully with each other. It’s in the training. But that’s “SHOULD” and if they’re legitimate and properly trained.

    Yes, you're right. But service animals (i.e. "seeing eye dogs" "dogs trained to detect seizures" etc) are extensively trained. Support animals just need a vest (which you can purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=service+a...b_sb_ss_i_1_11 and a note from a veterinarian that the animal is not aggressive. Support animals are also NOT covered by ADA where service animals are.
