Nah, I didn’t fly much, or in ages. Tooth pain an pressure changes don’t go well together. 😬
But I can totally imagine that being crammed in a metal tube for hours at a time, alongside several dozen/hundred other humans, can very easily become an unpleasant experience.
They are sedated to oblivion. Its just that like any sedative or anesthetic it can wear off if things get so stressful that the drugs turn out not to be enough.
The horses that ship internationally like this are generally worth $1M+ so its not like this was the solution every settled on as “eh, good enough” and more like, even with all this time and effort, this is still the beat solution we can come up with. Also for what its worth, I don’t know that this measure has ever been taken in my lifetime. The sedatives have always worked in every case I’ve know. Putting down a horse in international shipping for safety is an extreme edge case

Attendants ride with the horses when shipping overseas. If a horse panics it can imbalance the plane leading to catastrophic failure
