Whoa!
I've been meaning to watch that new cowboy movie, "Brokeback Mountain," by the way. I watch cowboy movies every chance I get - part of my ongoing research into what it is "conservatives" are trying to conserve. So I've seen a lot of horse smooches in my day and maybe, just maybe, in one John Wayne movie I saw, a little horse tickle - but horse sex? What's going on in the West, anyway?
(Disclosure: Everything west of the Mississippi is pretty much the same to me, except Nebraska. And Iowa, but Iowa doesn't count. Iowa hardly ever counts as far as I can see. Also Boing Boing got me started here.)
(Wow! Did you see that? A parenthetical statement, italicized! Truly there is some groundbreaking stuff on this blog.)
The late, great Charles Kuralt had a notion about coffee in the West. He figured that as the intrepid settlers moved west they ran short of it - coffee, I mean - and started making it weaker and weaker in consequence, until somewhere about Salt Lake City they were pretty much running on empty, drinking just some sort of brownish hot water out of habit more than anything else. And then of course they discovered Starbucks and the rest was history. (But there are some people who drink "decaf" to this day.)
So could there be something kind of like that going on with horses, I wonder? Sure beats me.
Addendum:
An Empire reader has inquired about the connection between Starbucks and horse sex. As far as I know there is no connection between Starbucks and horse sex. On the other hand, there's the matter of fish sex. All roads lead to Seattle, it seems.

yes, it's clear there is a relationship between starbucks and fish sex. clearly, there is the intent of the siren's call. and perhaps and two-tailed fish looks like a horse from the rear, and thus the confusion....
gotta look at a problem from all sides
