When you think of a service animals for the blind, you likely think of a dog. But miniature horses are very popular as guides and for purposes of emotional support. And blind users value their pets so much that they have gone to far as to design some pretty sweet footwear for their little friends! Everything from running shoes branded as Reebuck and Mare Jordan to fluffy slippers and even some over-the-top cowboy boots complete with spurs!
Don sez, "I'm a volunteer for the Guide Horse foundation, and our blind guide horse users have been very creative in choosing shoes for their ponies, creating sneakers, boots and dress shoes. Since our users are blind, they cannot see how they look to sighted people, but they have lots of fun crafting shoes!"
Because of the popularity of Guide Horses, service horses and emotional support horses, there has been a increasing demand for sneaker and shoes for miniature hoses.
