Can you explain it to me too? Because I don't get it either.

Dutch version? "Hoi, paard!".

Lol, thanks... :P

Still didn't help (even after translating it to English, because obviously it's just "Hey, horse" - in fact it made it worse as Google translates it as "Hi, horse" which I later learned completely ruins the joke)

In desperation I searched the joke, and found the same joke elsewhere phrased a different way:

A horse walks into a bar. "Hey," says the bartender.

The horse says "Buddy, you read my mind"

The difference in telling between "Hey, horse" and just "Hey" was massive and made it instantly clear.

Hey = Hay

Dumb I didn't see it but yeah.
