I might see "a non-horsey equine" personally, but if I ever meet one "in
person" I'd be sure I wandered into the wrooong neighborhood. (And I'd
really try to avoid recognizing them.)

"What! Burros have no sex?"

If we keep this up we might attain the golden opportunity to bring up the
word burdash on the list yet again.
