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.

What about a miniature giraffe?

My biology professor in college, 40 years ago, told us that different breeds of cats and dogs are really just different races...........So, the TV show didn't want to be called racists!........... 😆

Has John Kerry commented yet?

It's getting freakin ridiculous!!! I'd be 😡 if I had to share my flight with a horses butt in my face!! I hope someone teaches them a lesson and takes a skunk on broad!! Flight rules need a changing!!

The horse or both.

This stuff is reminding me of the overland busses in third world countries with everything from cattle to chickens on them. We’re getting there.

The Sun? Hopefully this is fake news.

Otherwise, the owner (and American Airlines) needs to pony up for some serious psychological counseling.

[I want the USA back]

Airlines, and most people in general, cater to the insane a$$hole and don’t care about the feelings and comfort of the majority. Today, the minority rules over the majority.

There’s a horse on every flight he takes...........!..

[Don Corleone]

As captain I would refuse to fly the trip. Unsafe for the rest of the Pax.(And me too. Am I supposed to sacrifice myself to save that nag in case of an emergency?)

[Red Badger]

It’s real.................

[ConservativeWarrior]

I believe these passengers and their animals are protected under the ADA. If a shrink prescribes a “therapy horse” to a passenger, and the airline then “refuses service”, they are in for a world of legal hurt.

Some people’s rights are more important that other’s, apparently.

This is also why the windows on the upper half of our office doors had to be frosted. If a person in a wheel chair can’t see through them, no one else is allowed either.

Insanity.

[gcparent]

Unbelievable. Next it will be a full grown horse.

Plus it is not fair to the horse to subject them to this flight.

[Red Badger]

If you can afford a miniature giraffe, then you won't be flying commercial!......... 😉

I’d rather fly with a Horse than a demonratcommiescumbagterrorscum.

My first thought, which my filter might not be able to contain, would be “WTF is this, Candid Camera?”

[Red Badger]

Some pigs are more equal than others..............

[YourAdHere]

I’ve been to Mr. Ed’s grave. It’s phenomenal.

[Polyxene]

“If a person needs such an animal then that person can drive to his or her destination, take a boat or stay home.”

I AGREE!

[Ancesthntr]

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

---

Oh, ye of little imagination...they’ll be demanding not just that, but separate rooms for all 57 genders of each species (and that’s allowing for everyone being “speciesist”).

[Red Badger]

Not that the smell would be any different......
