Hold your horses! Loose horse on cargo plane
Plane forced to return to JFK Airport after horse on board gets loose
In the air traffic control audio, a pilot is heard saying, "We are a cargo plane with a live animal, a horse, on board. The horse managed to escape its stall. There's no issue with flying, but we need to go back to New York as we can't resecure the horse."

Was it an appaloosa?
Could they not get it to Percheron a seat?

Sounds like a holiday flight with a difference!
It’s flying Pony Club Class
Too much White Horse (blended, of course)?
Or too much "Horse's Neck" (2 ounces bourbon, brandy or American rye whiskey; Ginger ale, chilled, to top; Garnish: lemon peel)?
These four-legged holiday flights seem as potentially bad as the two-legged versions...

Years ago, in Belize, a billy goat got loose in a Puma helicopter. It obviously wanted to disembark, so it was allowed to, from cruise altitude.

Apparently the pilot asked that a vetrinarian be on hand when they landed, implying there was no vet on board.
Obviously, the horse wanted to quit stalling, neigh idea why, but maybe it wanted to bale in order to get more hay.

Stall avoidance problems?
I wonder what the QRH says….
