Every time I hear this song (which is quite a lot as its on my playlist and I love it!) it makes me think of my horse. I feel that it sums up our partnership and I have visions of us galloping across fields and stopping to look over beautiful scenery in a thoughtful manner with him then tucking his head into my arms!

I know it sounds ridiculous but I was also inspired by the Lloyd's Bank advert a bit too! I know this is something that only you guys would get! ;)

Three out of our five would definitely have 'I wanna be free' as their theme tune :( Blinking escape artists.

My lovely girl would want something floaty and chilled, like Enya, and the other boy... can't decide.
 
I realised my pony's song would definitely be Queen's 'We will rock you' when it came on the radio the other day. Sums him up perfectly! (he's often covered in mud and/or blood)
 
I have a tune that i class as me and my girl's tune, but it also has sad memories for me, long story short, my girl was delivered to me the same day as my boy went away for a rest before the decision was made to PTS due to arthritic conditions, I knew in my heart he wasn't coming home again, but also knew i had a terrific opportunity and journey with my younster who was en route when i heard JASON MRAZ - I WONT GIVE UP. Also during this journey I am on with my girl the song by RUDIMENTAL - NOT GIVING IN, seems wholly appropriate, as according to many people, most would have thrown the towel in with her by now.
 
For one of mine its Firefly by Owl City. I used it on a video of him when I was younger. When all the hard work I had pumped into him finally paid off. One of the best jumps Ive ever had. He is now unable to jump through injury. The day I found out he may never be ridden again it was played on the radio. Since then it stuck. Depending on whether it is a good or bad day with him determines whether I smile or cry when I hear it!!
 
Ponys personailty probably' born to be wild' or something lol she's aquired a few nicknames when I've taken her to stuff, including 'pocket rocket' and 'wild child' lol

'Saltwater by chicane is the one that reminds me of her though. Smooth relaxing and same beat as her gallop. Reminds me of galloping along on a nice sunny day!
 
my first mare has a song which was playing after she got taken away from me in the 80's - TOTO Africa ;
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

I vowed after she came back after this song only mother nature would take her which she did.

I also have Tina Turner Simply the Best for her as she was
my mare who I lost 2012 has Sade Smooth Operator as it is her name sake.
 
Adele - One and Only

It took a while to fall in love with him but when I did it was amazing and when I hear this song its like its a description of us meeting and getting fonder of each other day by day :)
 
Bob the notacob s song is "Tell me why..I dont like Dressage " which was later a hit for Bob Geldorf as "Tell me why.. I dont like Mondays"
 
My 2yo Exmoor with Houdini tendencies would need to be Queen's "I want to break free" :D Haven't yet found a fence that will contain her...!!!

The Exmoor foal would need to be "Wild Child" by Iggy Pop...she's an absolute case in point for why ponies should be given ASBOs!!

My ridden Exie at 12years young would need to be "Irreplaceable" by Beyoncé - we have been though a lot together and despite doing her utmost diva impressions when she is less than impressed with life and me telling her that she's always replaceable... I wouldn't swap her for the world! :D

I don't even have a song with my OH let alone my horse! "You're so vain" would have suited my old boy so much. Maybe "You've got a friend" would be good for A and "Perfect" for M as he doesn't like it when things aren't just right!

Mine seem to get stuck with songs that are on the radio when I have just collected them and we are driving home. My girl's song is Halo by Beyonce. It has turned out to be absolutely perfect for her. She is an angel.
 
"Delaney's Donkey"!......Yep, suits my lad too!! Also "My Lovely Horse" from Father Ted, :) Or possibly "You spin me right round..." on a bad day...

My ex racehorse would be 'We're on the road to Nowhere' although in his opinion it would be the theme to 'I'm a Celebrity' or 'I am the one and only'.

My 4 year old would be 'Yesterday' harking back to her first 3 years in field doing nothing, now in work and not convinced all this exercise is a good idea at all.

My ISH would be anything by the Dubliners, he is a proper Irishman!
 
My horse is a saint and looks after me so well and I was only thinking the other day when I was looking at him…

'On the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true…'

So thats his song!
