AMERICAN Airlines passengers were left stunned after noticing a miniature HORSE had joined their flight.

Evan Nowak said he noticed the animal, which had been brought onboard by a fellow traveller, while flying on an a service from Chicago to Omaha.

He posted the footage to Twitter, which showed the horse calmly sitting near the front of the plane in an aisle seat.

He added: "At this time we would like to begin boarding with any active duty military, families travelling with children under the age of 3, and horses..."

Another passenger, Amberley Babbage, also spotted the animal at check in, tweeting: "There was a small horse in line at the airport today and I’m so curious about it. #ORD"

The horse was later revealed to be called Flirty - and even has its own Twitter and Instagram account.

I’d be afraid of having any (crazy) person who needed a horse on MY flight.

AA once allowed a pig on board. Ran up and down the aisle during the flight; bring a cat onboard and it has to be in a carrier and stuffed under the seat.

Must be a real party when it takes a dump.

This is beyond ridiculous.

This is just TOO FAR GONE. I cannot believe the airline would allow this. If someone needs to take a horse with them to fly, they should charter their own flight.

Next, these lunatics will be demanding special rooms in the airline terminals for each possible breed of “support” animal.

I think they should have obscured the horse’s face.

I saw a crazed animals TV show a few years ago where an animal control guy was trying to secure an angry cat, and they blurred out the tabby markings on the cat.

Service animals have gone extreme because of all the snowflakes and lunatic left’s safe space needs.

Some people just abuse their privileges and that's how we all lose them.
Animals bigger than max carry on luggage size should not be allowed.
Genuine trained service dogs excepted.

So you can’t have a bag that doesn’t extend beyond the seat back because of safety regulations (you have to be able to keep it clear in case of an emergency) but a horse blocking the row is ok? If a person needs such an animal then that person can drive to his or her destination, take a boat or stay home.

Parodied in this GEICO commercial:

Note the exquisite wimpiness of the owner - they really must have worked at this.

See how far you could get with a ‘service pig’ on a Saudia Airlines or Emirates Airlines flight. THAT would be entertaining to see the reactions of the muzzloids on the plane, to seeing a pig on board!
