CVG gets therapy horses
Just in time for holiday travel......NBC news is reporting that, given the Kentucky area's horse traditions, the CVG airport authorities have approved a program to bring therapy horses into the terminal. That's plural horses, but at least they're miniature ones and they look very cute on TV, with some of them even wearing holiday costumes.
BTW, the same report shows a therapy pig at SFO.

This is the most inane idea I've ever heard of. There are people who suffer from a very real fear of horses. Horses are very intelligent, sensitive animals and can definitely tell when they're around a person who's afraid of them. Being in a confined space with an animal that can weigh in excess of 900 pounds and knows you're afraid of it is a recipe for disaster.

If they are indeed miniature horses, they are about the size of a great dane. They aren't exactly an intimidating beast. If someone is scared of them, I can't imagine what that person is like on an airplane. Don't think its going to be an issue.
