Indeed

Sad to say I would have ordered the horse killed. Why you ask? That horse could have done enough damage on the loose, to bring that aircraft down, had it gone berserk. I would never fly livestock I.e., cattle and horses, unless the vet had enough sensitive for a pernament, knockout dose.
I believe some of the horses we transported were given a light sensitive before embarkation.
