In the spirit of keeping a light heart and good attitude:

For the past week I have been suffering, and I really mean SUFFERING with an attact of Gout in my left foot. And, like everyone here, my vision is at times a real challenge.

Today, while hobbling into a shop on crutches my dear 17-year old daughter suggested that I should simply get a seeing-eye horse.......kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. It struck me funny at the time......I wonder if there is a movie deal pending for a storyline like that!!

Cheers, Piper

Would they allow a 'guide-horse' into a store?

I think a seeing eye guide horse would be a great idea.
O long as one doesn't have to try to train him/her to go up and down the escalators, that is......

And so long as the seeing-eye horse doesn't decide that all the things that s/he sees that you can't are frightening and need to be run away from. Mind, some of the horses I know, they'd more likely decide that all they coud see were "elevenses".
