Funfact: there are several airlines specializing in horse transport. One of them is called “Air Horse One”.
That must be incredibly scary for the horses.
My first thought is “what are they sedated on, and who injected them with it?” So sad.
My other thought was “why the heck did they need to travel somewhere?”
This is what’s wrong with this fucking world.
Flying goddamn horses, and people can’t afford medicine or rent.
LOL ITS LUNAR NEW YEAR YEAR OF THE HORSE so fitting 🤣
My zodiac animal is also horse LOL
I’ve had it with all these motherfucking horses on this motherfucking plane!
Looks like they get pretty good leg room.
Neigh
This seems dangerous. What if the engines stall?
Don’t worry, plenty of extra horse power
I don’t understand, how do they get the food and drinks trolley past all that?
The smell in there must be ungodly
Just wait until you have to peel back the gill liner during heavy check.
I choose to believe these are fake terms
How else would they fly? They don’t have wings
Fun fact: This was in fact a parabolic flight. NASA was trying to figure out how horses would behave on the ISS and if they can be used as emotional support animals for stressed out astronauts.
I’d suggest a sloth, instead. I feel like a sloth would get along just fine in zero-G.
Alright Bud, you go ahead and argue with Commander Williams, why he is not allowed to take his emotional support horsie on that space station.
Why…pray tell…would anyone want to know how horses would behave on the ISS? You couldn’t even fit a horse in that thing!
I want this to be true.
Name checks out.
We’d better get a Space Cowboys movie out of this!
Shoot out at the meo corral.
I cannot imagine the vet bill were that true.
Space stallions.
I didn’t read the article, but I assume they have to customize all the controls so a horse hoof can still operate them. That alone would make the cockpit huge.
They were. Just Google huge horse cockpits
Why are they flying horses, jesus, just pick up a rental horse at the destination.

Horse racing too
Thankfully not as much as there used to be. 6/9 tracks closed this last year in California alone.

we all know a rental
carhorse is the fastestcarhorse in the world.Just make sure you get the Altima to ensure victory, even if it is tempting to pony up for a pony
car.
Wait until you learn how expensive certain horses are
A syringe of cum from a decent race horse will set you back about €600 or more (if I remember correctly).
That’s the price for just a papered horse. A horse with a few wins and a good line will run you around 5-10k. Then a horse with even better set of papers/lineage and wins, will push into 25k easy. Rich ass people will buy a horse that’s won a lot for a few million, then stand the horse at stud with a vet and collect checks for years until it’s swimmers start slowing down. Then they basically drain the poor bastard dry and then sell or get rid of him. The horse world is filled with shit people, who don’t really give a fuck about the animals.
I can do that cheaper.
You have to be decent tho
Looks like they’re standing, not flying. 🤔
They might be hovering. Hard to tell.
Just wait till the plane does one of those special nosedives
What is that gray thing on their neck?
Neck pillow, duh.
Some sort of loose restraint so they can’t rear back maybe?
Maybe so they can’t bite each other
Ryanair taking notes.
Probably the same reason humans wear seat belts on an airplanes… prevents them from hitting the ceiling when the plane does a barrel role.
Thanks, Peppy Hare.

I am not sure - this was originally posted to Reddit 3 years ago, and it doesn’t look like anyone asked that question.
might be another of those calming devices like the ones they put on their lips? (reddit link)
