That's the price for just a papered horse. A horse with a few wins and a good line will run you around 5-10k. Then a horse with even better set of papers/lineage and wins, will push into 25k easy. Rich ass people will buy a horse that's won a lot for a few million, then stand the horse at stud with a vet and collect checks for years until it's swimmers start slowing down. Then they basically drain the poor bastard dry and then sell or get rid of him. The horse world is filled with shit people, who don't really give a fuck about the animals.
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.
Fun fact: This was in fact a parabolic flight. NASA was trying to figure out how horses would behave on the ISS and if they can be used as emotional support animals for stressed out astronauts.
At some point, all that plastic covering the walls comes off during a long maintenance cycle, and there's usually concentrated horse piss waiting for you where it meets the floor.
That's the worst thing anyone has ever said about me. I was a little buzzed when I first commented so an upvote wasn't enough appreciation. Anyway, have a human day!

A syringe of cum from a decent race horse will set you back about €600 or more (if I remember correctly).
