I'm always deeply horrified by Piotr's view of Miles but I do find it a little funny that the one thing which made Miles salvageable in Piotr's eyes was him being a horse girl.
Piotr went from demanding that Cordelia and Aral abort Miles to demanding that Miles' doctors destroy him to trying to smother Miles in his cradle but it took one (1) comment from Miles along the lines of "I like this dressage pony because its feet are springy" for battle-hardened, virulently ableist Piotr Vorkosigan to think "Hm. Perhaps we can make something of the boy after all."
