          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 .

        You can show a horse jumping without having to fly them somewhere.

    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.

    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.

    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)

      My first thought is “what are they sedated on, and who injected them with it?” So sad.

      My other thought was “why the heck did they need to travel somewhere?”
