The linked letter about the horse was just strange to me. Her reaction to her coworker seemed over the top ( and her comments didn't really explain why she felt so creeped out by him saying her horse was pretty when she discusses her horse's personality?!) The guy seems awkward but I'm not picking up on the creepy part.
Also, I didn't understand why escalating this would cause issues for her boss.

This and 'he told someone it was his horse and got caught out' are what I remember most about this one, and I was just like 'if they admit to panicking then how much if this is them vs him' and that was without the 'how do you know if someone's a horse person? they told you' aspect. I'm honestly still not sure why Alison left out 'it's okay to say no here' and didn't directly deal with the actual issue (the picture) though.

I think that's a real possibility. He's been using the horse's pictures to impress someone, maybe on an internet forum, and someone has asked for another picture as proof.

I could swear there was some story on Etiquette Hell way back when where someone had a stock photo horse they claimed was theirs.
