The smell in there must be ungodly
So, horse inside the wagon to fly?
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 want this to be true.
Name checks out.
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.
Obligatory comment from someone on the !fuckcars@lemmy.world crowd:
How cars fly on planes? WELL THEY USUALLY DON’T. We just make shitloads of infrastructure for them. BCUZ OF FREEDUMZ
Like, I know why they wouldn’t put widows but I still think they should put windows
The horses would loose their fucking minds.
Why are they flying horses, jesus, just pick up a rental horse at the destination.
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.

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

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.
OK, but if you get on a horse’s back, are you riding, or flying?
Yes
You’re riding in the reference frame of the plane.
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!
Ok now show us how planes fly on horses.
What is that gray thing on their neck?
Neck pillow, duh.
Some sort of loose restraint so they can’t rear back maybe?
Probably the same reason humans wear seat belts on an airplanes… prevents them from hitting the ceiling when the plane does a barrel role.
Maybe so they can’t bite each other
Sound cancelling headphones.
might be another of those calming devices like the ones they put on their lips? (reddit link)
I am not sure - this was originally posted to Reddit 3 years ago, and it doesn’t look like anyone asked that question.
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.
More leg room than in economy
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.
I want to see this for pigs.
