OK, I’ll be the first to ask - can they be potty trained? In my experience with horses which is somewhat limited, they have no concern about pooping at any time and just let it fall. Dogs on the other hand seem to have a sense of shame about it. I’ve only seen one dog poop during a dog show and she was sick. Horses however, poop at horse shows all the time.

I occasionally do the photos with the Clydesdale horses at Busch Gardens in Tampa. Talk about a pile! We always have one horse that’s on display that people can touch and pet and pose with for pictures up close. When he poops we send someone back to the tack area to tell one of the workers there, “Clean up on aisle 8.” We also have a code for when the horse on display is showing his manhood. The handler simply uses a spray bottle of water and squirts it a couple of times.

Ah yes, life of the photographer in the theme park!

“All Guide Horses regularly work indoors, leading their handler to restaurants, shopping malls and offices. When they are off-duty, Guide Horses greatly prefer to stay outdoors. All Guide Horses have a small outdoor barn and corral to relax , graze and play. In the summer, they get a thin coat that allows them to be comfortable in hot and humid areas. In the winder, they get a wooly coat that keeps them warm, even in sub-zero temperatures.”
