I read a book called "Who Ever Heard Of A Horse In The House?" written by a lady who housebroke her horse. It's a very good book especially if you love horses!

Also this website about using miniature horses as guide animals for the blind discusses and has pictures of horses in the house. It even has a picture of the horse in bed with a guy!

Has anyone has ever done this?

It is one of my fantasies to have a horse in bed with me. Though I know they can only lay down for short periods and not all night.

Google for "Patches the horse" ;)

Oh yeah, I posted the video of Patches here a while ago:

I love how they have him sitting on the couch watching TV with them!

I have seen this when on vacation and I thought it very inspiring and also a most learning experience. This was not a small pony he had but fairly larger size pony girl. I thought and still think this is the way I would like to live. Why should horses be kept outside if they are as big lovers as they are to many of us?

If I had a pony or mini mare and my own house, I would definitely try to house train her. It would be the greatest thing in the world to have my own cutie always by my side.

One of the most interesting things about the book "Who Ever Heard of a Horse in the House?" was that the first time the lady brought the horse in the house, somehow the horse already knew when she was supposed to go outside.

on old farm i used to have a small welsh mare that used to come in the house all of the time and stand or lay in the living room when the family was in there but she was never house broken but would most of the time go out side any way, but then stone flooors do have there advantages

I used to let my shetland into the house evey day, I do have a pic of him in the house.
But my scanner is broke :(
I don`t have him any more, a neighbour complained to the council, so I had to sell him. :( :( :( :(
And before anyone asks he was a stallion. :diablo:

i live on a farm far from other people, i have some miniature ponies and some big mares,
i usually take on or more of them with me to the shower where the ''partying happens''...

they seem to like it a lot,
so yes, i do let them in my house

I know a fella in the Netherlands who has his mare in the house. She if full sized and sits on the couch. And yes, he is a zoo and very public about it. He is sort of a celebrity and pictures of his mare sitting in a chair have been in a magazine. She is a beauty too!

I have another friend who sleeps with his mini. He says she does it missionary style and I believe it but he has never taken any pictures to prove it.

Those boys must have lots of time on thier hands,,, what an amazing animal...... A nutty video for sure,,,, ty
by the way,, when i was growing up,, about 10 or 11, my shetland used to come in the house all the time... they were never fenced so was easy to roam,, and one day she camein and it never stopped.... I liked it LOTS ;)

Old Zoo, I know about the guy who you are referring to in the Netherlands. I beleive this is his website:

Gosh that would be awesome to do missionary with a mini. That would be absolute heaven!

Wow, showering with a mini would be awesome too!

Believe me,
it IS ^_^

i actually met a seeing eye horse in bangor Maine once back when i was in highschool.........

Our new mare like sot come into the house. WIll follow us right inside unless we stop her.
