Are Guide horses spooky and flighty?
The individual temperament of horses varies widely. Part of the Guide Horse training involves acclimation to sudden unexpected noises. The mini horses are trained to remain calm even in noisy chaotic situations. Guide Horses readily accept new experiences, and an unusually nervous miniature horse would not be accepted as a participant in the Guide Horse program. For additional safety, all Guide Horses undergo the same systematic desensitization training that is given to riot-control horses.
