While that guide horse website is interesting, there are still some issues with horses that make them less-than-perfect for service animal roles, like their poor depth perception and inability to determine water depth. I'd assume that the whole spooking and pooping things are taken care of in training, but not having forward-facing eyes can make things trickier. If people are always trying to run over you from behind, though, I guess it could be better than a dog.
Plus the miniature horses are adorable. But it also seems rather strange.
