Why are they flying horses, jesus, just pick up a rental horse at the destination.

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

we all know a rental car horse is the fastest car horse 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 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.

Funfact: there are several airlines specializing in horse transport. One of them is called "Air Horse One".

This is what's wrong with this fucking world.

Flying goddamn horses, and people can't afford medicine or rent.

Probably the same reason humans wear seat belts on an airplanes... prevents them from hitting the ceiling when the plane does a barrel role.

I am not sure - this was originally posted to Reddit 3 years ago, and it doesn't look like anyone asked that question.

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!

You'd clamp that noiserator too if you'd seen the flack-end of a swot bristler take down a hummer at thirty thousand high

At some point, all that plastic covering the walls comes off during a long maintenance cycle, and there's usually concentrated horse piss waiting for you where it meets the floor.

I don't understand, how do they get the food and drinks trolley past all that?

Pegasus was just the personal name of the last of the winged horses, not the name of the species.

Is that the wine, or the name of the cabin crew serving it?

I've had it with all these motherfucking horses on this motherfucking plane!

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?"

you know, we had a way of transporting horses way back in time; it was called "riding". basically the horses have legs and they can walk ... (/s)

Unfortunately they refuse to cross the ocean when you’re riding them.

That's the worst thing anyone has ever said about me. I was a little buzzed when I first commented so an upvote wasn't enough appreciation. Anyway, have a human day!

Oh you're totally fine. I didn't take it as mean. But your comment made me think about how terrible the internet has become knowing that I have to prove myself a human. Like being myself isn't human enough. Weird times we are in

No entertainment or food service means that's a long time doing nothing with no view. Bored horse a board.

OK, but if you get on a horse's back, are you riding, or flying?

No window seat? Restraints around their necks? Must be Spirit Air.
