Since being too big for the middle seat, the miniature horse was provided with an aisle seat where it comfortably adjusted for the entire flight, reports MSN Lifestyle. At one point, the animal even sat on the lap of its human.

Captured by several people, flying on an American Airlines flight from Chicago to Omaha, the pictures and videos of this unusual – and somewhat bizarre – incident flooded various social media platforms.

While some were simply amazed, a few couldn’t help but drop hilarious comments. “So GREAT!!” wrote an Instagram user. “This is awesome!” commented another. “Didn’t know that was a thing, that’s awesome!” wrote a third.

There were a few who raised questions about a miniature horse being allowed as a support animal. Turns out, according to American Airlines website, trained miniature horses are permitted to board the flight as a support animal.
