Ah, somebody else who believes that United sucks. Welcome, brother.

Honestly, I wouldn’t care about a tiny horse sitting on the floor in front of me as long as it didn’t take up more than the normal room and it didn’t pee or poop.
Horses don't sit so it's butt would never be on a seat. It would, however, need enough open space on the floor to stand. Removing the seat like you said would be a great compromise but are seats in a plane easily removed?

This "pet store in the sky" thing has gotten out of hand. If you're too mentally unstable to fly just stay home. No more Pets in the Air thing...it's rude and selfish.

We fly a lot and I have more problems with children flying then I do with pets.
I've seen animals getting on the plane. Sat next to one once but have never had a problem with one.
Kids, that's a completely different story.

In this case, the animal in question is not a pet. It's a legitimate service animal, not an "emotional support" animal.

I am one of the biggest animal lovers I know.
Chickens,dogs,reptiles,one cat, large macaw, couple of Monster sized tortious’s, 10 bee hives and I am surrounded by wild live where we live.

I am not an animal hater by any means but I just can’t stand someone that insists on blessing me with the presence of their animals.
Makes me cringe.

If I paid for first class airfare and I sat next to a horse that did a went potty I might spew a venomous
greeting to this person if I felt they truly did not need the help of a service animal and damn them for putting me in that situation.

I’ve rode on busses in third world countries that had passengers with their livestock with them.
I loved it and felt blessed to share their culture with them.

This first world entitled lollipop culture that uses loopholes is just wrong.
It is cuss worthy.

I am totally fine if people need help and she might actually need help (who knows?) but there is that thing telling me that “we are being scammed” more so than not when I see or hear of this.

G’day.

What happens when the horse does what horses tend to do? An interesting side note, this size of horse is about the same as Eohippus, the first horse, many millions of years ago.

It is the size and weight of a large dog or small human. If it behaves and is a legitimate service animal—NOT an emotional crutch—a little startling, yeah, but probably fine.

A strange scenario comes to my mind. One of an entire plane filled with alternating seats of service animals and humans.Hmmmmm.
