Sixth Circuit Upholds Disabled Girl's Use of Miniature Horse

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has ruled that an Ohio woman can pursue a claim that Blue Ash, Ohio, discriminated against her disabled daughter by banning her from keeping a miniature horse as a service animal, The Wall Street Journal's Jacob Gershman reports. Ingrid Anderson claims the city's ban on people keeping farm animals within municipal limits violates the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act. Anderson further argues the city should make a reasonable accommodation to allow her family to keep the miniature hourse.
