Part 3/13:

Singapore channels thousands of flights weekly, not just for passenger travel but also for freight—ranging from electronics and makeup to perishable foods and high-value livestock. Within the vast air freight hub lies a dedicated animal-loading bay, a specialized zone ensuring the safe and humane transport of animals like horses, as well as other cargo.

Preparations for the horses include loading them into purpose-built containers, secured carefully to avoid unnecessary movement during flight. Notably, one horse, Skava, can't travel yet due to an injury—a reminder of the unpredictable nature of animal transportation. The prioritization of cargo is critical: stable horses are loaded first, with attention to minimizing stress by positioning them to reduce movement within their crates.
