A real-life expert on horses could convince me that this is realistic, but I 
still wouldn't want to apply it in a game. And even in a grottily-realistic 
game, I'd be wary of applying it w/o the expert's testmony for fear of being 
unrealistic in the "more realistic than real life" sense. 

Now a *flight* spell cast on a horse, OTOH...

(And on the third hand, maybe not even then. I don't believe horses have ever 
been put into zero-g, but smaller animals have. Do, e.g., mice or rats panic 
when they first experience zero-g?)
