While no-one knows who Horse Boy is or what the point of him is, there are theories. Some bloggers think he will turn out to have been part of a corporate publicity stunt. Others point out that buying a plastic horse mask is not beyond the wit of man. A commenter on the BBC website said: "Horse boy isn't a person, it's a cheap mask - for example I saw at least three people wearing similar heads at this year's Download Festival in Donington."
Nonetheless he has become an international phenomenon. Stefan Kleen from Germany said he met horse-boy at a festival: "He only spoke English so we didn't really talk a lot to him." He has also apparently been spotted in Norwich and Cardiff.

So what you're saying is that it's all just much ado about mutton?
I was out on the front porch smoking a cig, and along comes a guy with a horse head speeding up the street on his bike...I said holy s@%* it's horse boy!!!!
Also, the lead singer of Sparklehorse use to wear one of those often. But he, unfortunately, passed away.
