You didn't really use imagery to imply the Burton-esque atmosphere. It more felt like The Twilight Zone thematically with its focus on persistent unease and its small scale.

I didn't really see his emotions influencing much. That is to say they were reactive, not reflective, but it works in this story because of its small scale and Everyman character as well as its atmosphere.

Also, if a person is straddling something with a horse in mind, it's usually not sexual.
