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.

This can stop immediately if airlines agreed to end this madness.

One simple rule: Licensed and registered service dogs only.

If this fat woman is so distressed and mentally ill that she needs to bring a horse along, maybe she should instead be on a no-fly list and stay at home or be committed to a mental institution.

Mini horses are used as service animals for people who need physical stability, there are few service dogs large and strong enough. also mini horses live 20-25 years, while a dog does not.

I wonder if that horse had to take its shoes off to go through security.

If they can bring a horse on a plane, then nobody better talk smack when I bring my emotional support grizzly bear onboard.

A miniature horse, a sombrero and poncho, and a camera. Who says immigrants don’t know how to turn a lemon into lemonade?

I would have talked to my captain saying that horse would be a safety hazard if we had an emergency and had to evacuate the plane.

The passenger & horse take up 3 seats. I’m assuming they can’t charge extra and just lose the revenue that the other 2 seats would have brought in.

Cute horse
