Unless he’s dead… then it should be “Dug”.
In the land of the no-armed, the one-armed bandit is king.
Good poster handle/OP combo. [curb=heel]
My concern would be whether a horse can be housebroken.
People who lie to take advantage of accommodations meant for the disabled are just assholes. About 20% of us are assholes. I’m being generous.
They may not be able to ask about the nature of the disability, but in most places they (business owners or managers or whoever is in authority) can ask what services the animal actually performs to evaluate if it is a legitimate service animal or not. This is the policy at the university where I work.

He rolls around in a circle like Halvsie, barking madly.
“Oh, that’s my service dog. He doesn’t bite.” Ah, yes. The stupid little dog who, as I handing the bag to the customer, almost bit my only good hand. Fortunately, I pulled it back in time. “Oh, he was just playing.”
I was so upset I had to outside to recover. But that’s okay, because it’s a service dog, and it relies your anxiety.
Teach him to carry an Uzi so you can argue you are exercising your Second Amendment right to keep and arm bears.

My entire province must be “ableist” then, since only animals that are certified may act as assistance animals.
Oh wait, your comment was simply trolling bullshit, posted by a sad little muppet.
Never mind.
Again, laws from my jurisdiction:
We don’t have any problems with service animals crapping on the floors, or silly people claiming they need to bring Miss Flopsy into the store with them, because she “relieves their anxiety”.
Why don’t other areas have reasonable laws that simply outline what is or IS NOT a suitable service animal?
Would you trust a seeing eye cat?
Dammit, why didn’t I think of that.
I eventually want a gnu as my service animal, but right now all I have is a newt. Start small and build is my motto. 
Probably, laws in most places are. Doesn’t mean you have to agree with them.
No, just a half amused, half sad observation of hypocrisy.
Defecating/urinating in inappropriate locations and aggressive behaviors are explicitly exempt from the ADA laws … in the example in the OP, the casino had the right to ask the patron to remove the animal …
There’s also the “reasonable accommodation” test … in many jurisdictions it’s otherwise completely illegal to keep in captivity a wild animal without a special license … and these licenses are reserved for scientific research institutions … one just can’t go trap a squirrel and say it’s a service animal … this accommodation is unreasonable …
It’s a tough question … at what point do we as a society have the right to know why a medical doctor prescribes a service animal … and at what point is this private information?
Interesting that one of our local Wal-Marts here just simply allows pets now … apparently it’s not a problem and avoids the expense of having an employee at the doors confronting customers about their animal …
Not necessarily. I am on my third service dog here in CA and trained them all myself. Fortunately, I’ve been training dogs for 50 years so my dogs are highly trained, but there is nothing in place here to ensure that.
That would be an emotional support dog, and they do not have the same access that service dogs do. And even if it was a service dog, if it attempts to bite, out it goes!
Well, they can apparently be housebroken. I just never thought horses were (a) that smart, or (b) had particularly good vision, i.e., the ones I had would see things that weren’t there. I wouldn’t trust one. Although in actual fact, I wouldn’t trust any of the dogs I’ve had either.
I suspect you don’t know what that word means.
Watch out for fake gnus.
