Horses have fired the imagination in many creative arts. Here are some of my favorite “horse” songs. First up is the Rolling Stones “Wild Horses”. The song is not about wild horses but uses that image to convey how strongly the singer is attached to the person he loves. Even wild horses could not drag him away. He does not refer to big trucks or tractors which would be the strongest machines. No he uses the image of wild horses.
Next Paul Simon and “One Trick Pony”. He could be singing about a dressage horse ‘dancing’.
This is Elton John “Live like Horses” in a gala, star studded performance that includes Pavarotti . I believe this was a gala for children of war.
For something different here is Bruce Springsteen and the audio of “Pony Boy” from a 1992 concert.
And finally a beautiful song that is entirely about horses. Real horses. Race horses. The composer Dan Fogelberg and Run for the Roses.
I hope you enjoyed the horse songs. Are there any favorites that you have? Leave me a comment below .

I also thought about “Horse With No Name”. I also like “Black Horse and A Cherry Tree” by KT Tunstall, The one that popped into my head thinking about horses and songs is Jeff Buckley’s “Mojo Pin”. There is a “horse” on the lyrics that says “Don’t want to weep for you. I don’t wanna know. I’m blind and tortured. The White Horses flow.” I love the song. Also, I thought about “Ride A Horse (Save A Cowboy)”, but I’m not a big fan of that song.
Very nice topic. 😉 Got me going. 🙂

The Black Horse and a cherry tree was used by US Olympian Tina Konyot for her freestyle ( test ridden to music). Her horse was a black stallion and she just used short clips of the song . I will look up the Mojo Pin song that sounds interesting. Thanks for your comment and contribution. 🙂

thanks for those. I love to hear new things that I have not heard before and I don’t often listen to C and W music but I do like it. So it is good to get some good ones from someone like you, who knows more of those songs and that music.

Ah, these songs are great! I also have a weak heart for Natasha Bedingfield – Wild Horses, I almost grew up listening to this song. So much to relate to!
