No, we do not want the horses to lie down. If that's happening, then the horse is in distress. We always want the horses to be standing up in their stalls to make sure that we can properly feed and water them. In our opinion, if they go down for a second time, then we have a conversation with the pilot, with the airline operation centre. We have to make an emergency landing in order to safely offload the horse and make sure there is no indication of distress. We do not want to have the horses lie down.
