The story behind

Romance is in the air at the stable yard tonight. On the left, a well-turned-out horse has combed his beautiful mane and even coiffed his fringe into a glossy quiff with a touch of brilliantine. He sashays confidently forward, ready to do whatever it takes to charm his stable mate, spotted earlier at the riding school. The object of his affections, however, couldn't care less for his flirtatious prancing and shamelessly ignores him. What a flop! But, proud as a peacock, the horse jumps right back in the saddle. A spot of flattery is sure to work... "Could I have your stall number?" he asks in the smoothest of whinnies. Once again, he is blown off, but he doesn't give up easily and comes trotting back to try again.
