Kat and JenEllen: ABC News just announced an upcoming story about seeing-eye ponies? That's very odd, considering that the following ABCNews.com page on the subject is dated March 30 – and they don't say what year! – http://abcnews.go.com/sections/2020/2020/2020_010330_guidehorses.html

Annanutherthing, that part of the article Áine posted that says Rosie is "one of only two in the country" is apparently outdated! I did a Google search on "blind guide horse" and it brought up about 106,000 hits! Haven't read too many of them yet, but enough to see that there are more than two guide horses in the US. i did see it noted on more than one site, however, that Rosie is the second one to have been in service,

By the way, this article lists Ms. King's first name as Cheryle: http://www.guidehorse.com/people.htm

Now to go and ponder the possibilities for a song of my own on the subject... I dunno, I'm awfully rusty at this, but I'll oil up the brain-gears and see if they move...
