Long Horse Jokes
Last but not least, we have picked out a few longer horse jokes, which you can use in a naturally flowing conversation (when the opportunity is fitting).
Long jokes are usually hilarious because of the buildup and a proper punchline at the end. Unfortunately, with most jokes, the setup and punchline are generally quite obvious.

“Why yes, I am,” replies the horse.
“What are you doing at this movie?”
The horse says, “I really liked the book.”
#2 – Three Horses & A Greyhound
Three racehorses are staying in a stable.
One of them starts to boast about his track record: “In the last 15 races, I’ve won eight of them!”
Another horse breaks in: “Well, in the last 27 races, I’ve won 19!”
“Oh, that’s good, but in the last 36 races, I’ve won 28!” says another.
At this point, the horses notice a greyhound who has been sitting there listening. “I don’t mean to boast,” says the greyhound, “but in my last 90 races, I’ve won 88 of them!”
The horses are clearly amazed. “Wow!” says one, after a hushed silence. “A talking dog!”
