I used to work with a gal at a restuarant that said that her mom used to
take her to equestrian meets with her mini-pony in the back of the microbus.
I just laughed at the time wondering what would have happened if "ol hos"
decided to start kicking and freaking out inside of the bus. I also wondered
about potential calamity in a panic stop situation. Then there are other
more organic aspects that we won't delve into...
I wonder if the bus was a bench or "trot-through" ;)
