People have their proclivities, but as you already know, sometimes they act on them, and its not legal. We live in a society. We have rules, and messing around with livestock beyond typical farming is illegal. What the hell was this kid thinking? In the United Kingdom, a 19-year-old could go to jail for nocturnal activities with these animals.
As you might have guessed, it involves horses, actually ponies. The suspect pleaded guilty to the charges, and a judge ordered a “risk assessment” before sentencing. This kid’s activities have supposedly nuked the operations on the farm he frequented for his equine tendencies (via News.AU):

A 19-year-old British teenager faces sentencing after pleading guilty to attempting to commit a sexual act on a Shetland pony on a farm in West Yorkshire.
Thomas Mikaelson, from Huddersfield, a town in West Yorkshire, England, appeared before Leeds Crown Court on Wednesday, September 30, wearing a light-grey suit jacket and light-grey jeans.

Mr Mikaelson pleaded not guilty to a secondary charge of recklessly trespassing to commit a relevant sexual offence.
Prosecutor Robert Galley told the court the guilty plea to the primary count was acceptable to the Crown, and the second charge was ordered to lie on file.

His Honour Judge Phillips KC informed the court that the affected farmer had provided a detailed victim impact statement regarding the incident.
“The farmer concerned has supplied a victim impact statement and I think that he ought to be given the opportunity of attending court at sentencing,” Judge Phillips said to the court.
“It clearly has had an impact in more than one respect upon the farm and those involved in its operation.”
He faces potentially up to two years imprisonment, along with being added to the UK’s sexual offender registry.
