You see them on the back of these rickety-ass horse floats all the time, and you would think that people lugging horses around would have to be careful about bumps in the road to avoid spooking them.

But then I thought: how fucking spooked would a horse be on a plane? Do you think they're afraid of heights? Would they go apeshit at the pressure changing - or even worse, would it kill them? Horses are some of the most fragile animals ever, if they sleep wrong their lungs fill up with blood. Something could happen like bubbles forming in their blood for all I know.

And what kind of plane would you use to transport them? It would have to be quiet, and it would have to be able to handle turbulence without spooking the horses too badly. Could you have handlers on board to calm them down and make the flight easier for them? How about restraining them, so they don't get hurt if the plane does hit turbulence?

Horses on a plane sound like a logistical clusterfuck.

In the entire history of mankind its gotta have happened at least once

If a horse can handle being squished into a tight ass trailer some boomer farmer cheaped out on, it can probably handle the cargo of a plane
