On Thursdays, he smokes one cigarette (but claims he's not a smoker). On Fridays, he treats himself to his favourite pastime: horse practice " he grew up with horses and likes to try and emulate their distinctive whinnies, snorts, neighs, snuffles, sighs, grunts, fluttering nostrils, the occasional aggressive outburst and the especially beautiful nicker of a mare to her foal.
