... unless he smelled pheromones from a female in heat. (One of the distinctions between us and the other mammals, excepting bonobos)

Some dogs don't seem to need much of anything.

From another account of the incident:

The man who died during the incident suffered a perforated colon after being penetrated by the neighbor's horse, investigators say. He also owned a horse of his own, according to the Humane Society, which says it is trying to find a foster home for the animal. "Bestiality," says local Humane Society director Robert Reder in a statement, "is an unsettling and uncomfortable topic." Nonetheless, "The people who engage in this behavior are victimizing animals."

According to charging papers, Tait told a sheriff's deputy that he and the two other men "came to know each other as a result of their common interest in having sex with horses and other animals." Tait and the man who later died both had sex with the neighbor's horse that night, according to the charging papers. The second man died while Tait was videotaping the encounter. The tape was later shown to the couple that owns the barn so they could confirm it was their horse, known as Big Dick. Enumclaw Police turned up as many as 100 VHS videos and DVDs. But with no applicable bestiality or animal abuse laws to enforce, authorities never viewed the tapes, Urquhart says.

I guess I don't know as much about zoology as I thought I did. I was under the impression that a male animal didn't "get into the mood" unless he smelled pheromones from a female in heat.

That's what I thought, too.

I suspect that I'd rather not know exactly how these two solved that problem.

You and me both!

I found the horse's name disturbing enough in this context....

Obviously you never been on the business end of the horse. Hint, it's not the front end.

This horse prolly had enough (one way or the other), and decided to encourage the departure with a well placed kick.

They usually do more than perforate the colon, they also bust the spleen, a kidney or two, etc.

besides being dangerous, what he was doing was just plain sicko.

I never thought "Animal Husbandry" would be a double entendre

...and ordered to perform eight hours of community service...

This makes me nervous.

"Did the horse kick him?"

Becky,
The stallion was named "Bull's Eye", and not from his kicking accuracy.

The ACLU will be taking on this case soon since what one does in the privacy of one's stall is no one's business and protected by the Constitution.
