“Dancing and riding; it’s the same damn thing,” Nicholas Evans wrote in his best-selling novel The Horse Whisperer. Which probably explains why there are so many bloody country songs about horses!

If I'm being honest, I loved horses before I loved country music. I grew up watching Champion the Wonderhorse and National Velvet and I loved watching westerns; mainly for the horses.

When I was five years old, I was so into horses and cowgirls and cowboys that I started listening to songs about them too.

I remember Marty Robbins seemed to have the best ones, but Eddy Arnold had one called ‘The Tennessee Stud’ that the five-year-old me absolutely loved.

Ever since then my ears have always pricked up whenever a horse song comes on. From songs about old faithful companions to ones about wild untameable beasts, there’s something in this playlist for every horse loving country music lover.

After all, there’s no better place to see the world than from the back of a horse.

So, saddle up and ride off into the sunset with Holler’s playlist of the Best Country Songs About Horses.
