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.”
