美国一匹矮种马成航空乘客 首次出行和主人同坐头等舱

People usually see cats and dogs on a plane journey in the US. But one woman, from Michigan, US, took her miniature horse on board for his first flight in first class.
The miniature horse, called Fred, is a trained therapy and service horse. Fred’s owner, Ronica Froese, said that the journey was from Grand Rapids, Michigan to Ontario, California. They passed by Dallas. “I spent a year of my life training this horse and I was prepared for everything,” Ms Froese said.
“I bought two first class seats. I paid an arm and a leg for tickets. I did this because it was Fred’s first time and I wanted him to have the most room,” she said. The horse was dressed in a special service jacket and mask, and it was resting his nose on Ms Froese’s leg while he was standing.
