27. The stalls will have to be reinforced.

Most horses know about stalls and are under 1000 pounds, thus 2x4 pine wood is ideal for horses. For cows heavier stalls are preferred. Rhinos require even heavier fencing. I once visited a ranch in Texas who had built some very heavy pens to hold rhinos. The pens were massive for rhinos are large.

Rhinos weigh 4000 to 5000 pounds, that is five times what horses weigh with a comparable increase in strength. Thus the stalls will have to be reinforced with increase in weight. Probably the stalls will be used and then removed. That is not that hard to do, the stalls should be on lockable wheels, just to be removed to be cleaned. Thus removal of the stalls and reinstalling them as needed is one way to work around the extra weight of such stalls, weight is important in air travel.
