ADA rules list four factors for a trained miniature horse. They are not a certificate test.
A miniature horse can be a required modification when all four factors are met.
- Housebroken: yes.
- Under control: yes.
- Facility can accommodate size and weight: yes.
- Safety requirement not compromised: yes.
What would change this
Any one factor can change the result.
Next step
Modify the policy to permit the miniature horse where reasonable. Do not ask for a medical diagnosis.
Re-score the four factors if the facility, the handler, or the horse changes.
