I got the nickname during the summer of '96 at The Virginia Governor's School (See also: Brina, Billy, Steffie, and Lyric). Besides long talks about everything under the sun, we also played cards. One day, Steffie decided it would be a good idea to play R.S.P. For those that haven't a clue, this is Reverse Strip Poker.
Once again, this is where I kindly asked the gutter-dwellers to raise their heads.
This game was imaginary. No clothing was removed, everyone was fully dressed. Played in the mind, the object of the game was to mentally dress your partner in various outfits. The items I picked for my partner tended to be western by design. A lariat, a saddle, bridle... You get the picture. They took to calling me Horsie boy and my nickname was born.
