i could give you some funny answers but, the straight answer is, "yes". I am a pilot and I have a friend that has flown with distinguished horses as his PX (passenger). The horses are not allowed to be sedated and they must be accompanied by a handler. The horses are not fed or watered while en route.The handler can be the trainer, a veterinarian or the owner and etc.. They are put into a specialized padded "tie stall" that can be lifted into the hold with a forklift. The hold is pressurized and climate controlled. The forklift ride seems to be the most stressful part of the trip for the horse so for their own protection they are fully enclosed. The most stressful time of the trip for the owner may be when he pays the BILL.. It is not a cheap ride. Yes. FedEx has a special animal charter flights that are available upon request. They have special stalls that hold the horses and extra seats and oxygen for the caretakers. The MD-11F can carry 84 horses on one flight from Canada to Japan. And these are the large breed of horses like the Belgian horses. The horses are mildly sedated. And you may ask why ship Belgian horses to Japan? It is a delicacy. They feed the horses for a few months to let them gain weight. The shipping cost is about ~$2000 for each horse, but the horse steak sells for about $300 per lb. The horses are shipped from Canada because the USA out-lawed the meat processing of horses. Canada has plants that process horses for food and other uses. Custermen
