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
Why are they flying horses, jesus, just pick up a rental horse at the destination.
TOTAL PRIZE MONEY | 4.1 million CAD
Horse racing too
Thankfully not as much as there used to be. 6/9 tracks closed this last year in California alone.

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).
Almost as expensive as printer ink
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 can do that cheaper.
You have to be decent tho
Looks like they’re standing, not flying. 🤔
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.
This is what’s wrong with this fucking world.
Flying goddamn horses, and people can’t afford medicine or rent.
Funfact: there are several airlines specializing in horse transport. One of them is called “Air Horse One”.
What is that gray thing on their neck?
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.
Thanks, Peppy Hare.
