Comment on What a wonderful world we live in!

So yeah, taking a horse and throwing it on an aircraft would spook the bajesus out of it. Throwing it off again would probably scare it to death, if the landing, however gentle, doesn’t kill it

I’m hoping that this is The Daily Mash or The Onion or something….it doesn’t even look like horses like it on roads.

It’s satire yeah.
And they don’t! But they’ll put up with it if whoever the horse in charge is says it’s ok.
To note, the horse in charge is very likely the guy on the horse’s back. The horse does not seem to be confused by this arrangement.
