I must admit, I find Borat absolutely hilarious and in fact I think that Sacha Baron Cohen is a comical genius.
That said, he can be an acquired taste, but this clip is too funny not to share if you give it a chance. Not a part of his Borat movie, this is a clip from when he was just a lowly television star in the UK.
Remember as you are watching that his humor is cynical and wholly tongue in cheek. It’s truly amazing just how patient & impatient the woman is with him as he rambles on.

Writing about so many different breeds has been a real education, not just about horses but about the road we’ve traveled on their back. In doing that I’ve earned an even larger appreciation for an animal I’ve loved my entire life.
Every single breed is important for the contributions they have made and we have a responsibility to these animals whose numbers are so low. Be sure to take a look at animals with even lower numbers from the critical list as well.

As I’ve spent the last few months researching & writing my breeds section I’ve come to care about each & every one of them. Not only for their contribution to life as we know it, but for their continued patience and understanding with us as a species.
