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.
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.
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.
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
horses are great. they get you places. sexy time. source of nutrition...... gonna need to be /s on this one although I hipe folks can recognize the callback.

Why are they flying horses, jesus, just pick up a rental horse at the destination.
Lots of money in show jumping
Horse racing too
Thankfully not as much as there used to be. 6/9 tracks closed this last year in California alone.
#KillRacingNotHorses
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.You can show a horse jumping without having to fly them somewhere.
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).

I can do that cheaper.
You have to be decent tho
Almost as expensive as printer ink
😭
That makes for expensive shots
I prefer rum anyway so it's not much of an issue...
Ah, the classic Rum and Cock!
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
Don't know; didn't click.
Looks like they're standing, not flying. 🤔
Just wait till the plane does one of those special nosedives
They might be hovering. Hard to tell.
I know it's weird because whenever I fly, I'm actually sitting.
Yes just like that.
The photo shows the inside of the giant cannon the horses are about to be shot from.
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.
At least the horses are working
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.
Sound cancelling headphones.
might be another of those calming devices like the ones they put on their lips? (reddit link)

I want this to be true.
Name checks out.
i want this to be false.
it would be animal abuse
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.
There's a horsieeeee
Who's heading for the Sun
He'd like to be back home
With a box of apples for everyone
https://youtu.be/a_EDpth9xvU
We'd better get a Space Cowboys movie out of this!
Shoot out at the meo corral.
for the uninitiated
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 cannot imagine the vet bill were that true.
Space stallions.
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
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?
How else would they fly? They don't have wings
Ok now show us how planes fly on horses.
If they are flying they are actually called Pegasuses not horses.
Pegasus was just the personal name of the last of the winged horses, not the name of the species.
Business class, nice! Can I have prosecco instead of champagne? Thanks.
Sorry, all we have is Chardonneigh.
Is that the wine, or the name of the cabin crew serving it?
Just the wine. The crew serving it is called Sotally Tober.
I've had it with all these motherfucking horses on this motherfucking plane!
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?"
Sport
Let horses fly, life is short
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.
I love you for this comment
I divorce you for this one
that's what a bot would say 🧐️
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!
sry i didn't intend to be mean 😅 have a nice day too!
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
Like, I know why they wouldn’t put widows but I still think they should put windows
The horses would loose their fucking minds.
I wonder if they'd even understand what they were seeing.
I think they'd understand enough during takeoff.
Looks like they get pretty good leg room.
Neigh
No entertainment or food service means that's a long time doing nothing with no view. Bored horse a board.
At least they each have their own armrests!
Can I fly with the horses? That looks so comfortable.
Probably better than RyanAir.
So is having a horse stomp on your nuts
They get decent legroom at least.
Looks like economy class.
OK, but if you get on a horse's back, are you riding, or flying?
You're riding in the reference frame of the plane.
Yes
No window seat? Restraints around their necks? Must be Spirit Air.
LOL ITS LUNAR NEW YEAR YEAR OF THE HORSE so fitting 🤣
My zodiac animal is also horse LOL
This seems dangerous. What if the engines stall?
Don't worry, plenty of extra horse power
I suppose that solves the mane issue, but it wouldn't behoof them to help
I want to see this for pigs.
A few months ago I ate horse sashimi in hida Japan, I'd like to think those horses got to have a fun airplane ride to get there like I did
I have tried horse meat at a Mongolian restaurant once. I'm always scared to admit it...

No in-flight movie? Cheapskate owners couldn't spring for business class?
I think being in this room would actually kill me from the smell alone.
“I’ve seen a horse fly…”
But I ain't never seen a donkey fly.
More leg room than in economy
Time Flys
Fruit Flys
House Flys
Horse Flys
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Pegasus airlines
Same, my guys.
Obligatory comment from someone on the ![email protected] crowd:
How cars fly on planes? WELL THEY USUALLY DON'T. We just make shitloads of infrastructure for them. BCUZ OF FREEDUMZ
So, horse inside the wagon to fly?
