Unless a horse intervenes somehow.
I call these welcome provocations "The Westheim Challenge."

So, this time the challenge is to find the link between Cespedes and a horse. Well, there was this story from years ago:

Mets star Yoenis Cespedes rides horse to spring training
Yoenis Cespdes is turning the [2016] New York Mets' spring training into quite the spectacle.

But I don't think that is what you are referring to. Perhaps you are conflating "horse" with "wild boar" as in this story?

Mets' Yoenis Cespedes suffered broken ankle in incident with wild boar at his ranch in May [2020], per report
The Mets filed a grievance and cut Cespedes' salary as a result

For, wild horses couldn't keep Cespedes away from the WBC, but apparently a wild boar is capable.
