From the moment the horse rider burst through that door, I could tell this film was going to have some good quality animation in it. I was proved right after finishing watching. I couldn't see any light flicker at all. Either that or call me blind. I do suggest that when the minifigure is not riding the horse, fill in the horse's back with a 1x2 lego piece and with a smooth 1x2 flat piece to make it look more realistic.
There was just one other flaw which irritated me throughout the film: the walking. It wasn't the walk cycle, but the sound. Since this was the main sound heard throughout the film, it gets a tad annoying, so maybe next time lower the volume of it in post production. Now I bet you're asking me, "Why not just turn down the volume of your headphones?" My answer to this is because I listen to hear the balance: to see if one sound overpowers the other when it shouldn't.
The plot was a bit random. A man goes to get milk, and comes out finding two horses making out. But in my thoughts, this is the part that made me laugh. It was unexpected and threw me off guard. Great job on this film!

Just me, but I think it would have been even funnier had the milkman's reaction been more exaggerated and Tex Avery-like. Also, the electronic Yakety Sax was a nice touch.
Fantastic animating and was quite amusing. 
The walking was loud as Mason already pointed out.
U enjoy the whole weird way the guy just decides he's going to go gets some milk. xD
Only think I really didn't like was that he cursed at the end, even if it was censored, still bothers me.
Very nice indeed. With the amount of short comedies around it's unusual that you get one that's both funny and original, and fortunately, this is definitely one. I enjoyed the milkman's constant singsong narrative and the build up to the joke. Admittedly the missing piece in the middle of the horse was slightly irritating, it didn't take away from it.
Also, great ending. You have a very good sense comedy, and your punchlines usually deliver just on time.
7/10
I'm watching it again and again and it's funny every time I watch it! 
as soon as I saw horse in the title I thought my little pony:p but nice vid!
That reminds me of "A Town Called Panic"
Overall it worked well.

I thaugt about that. But I don't have lots of legos. And I don't have those peces.
