This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

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 ~~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~~ .

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I don't understand, how do they get the food and drinks trolley past all that?
Ok now show us how planes fly on horses.
How else would they fly? They don't have wings
If they are flying they are actually called Pegasuses not horses.
Business class, nice! Can I have prosecco instead of champagne? Thanks.
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)

Like, I know why they wouldn’t put widows but I still think they should put windows
Looks like economy class.
No entertainment or food service means that's a long time doing nothing with no view. Bored horse a board.

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

LOL ITS LUNAR NEW YEAR YEAR OF THE HORSE so fitting 🤣
My zodiac animal is also horse LOL
I want to see this for pigs.
This seems dangerous. What if the engines stall?
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
