so what songs do you sing to your horse?!

[ QUOTE ]
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a horsey that bends, My friends all ride warmbloods, I must make amends, I practice my leg yields, each evein' till ten, So oh lord, won't you buy me a horsey that bends.

Oh Lord,won't you buy me a horse that won't buck, I'm tired of trying to land standing up, I spend all my time brushing dirt off my butt, So Oh Lord, won't you buy me a horse that won't buck.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a horse that won't bite, I count all my fingers and toes everynight, I feel like a carrot, when I'm in his sight, So Oh Lord, won't you buy me a horse that won't bite.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a horse with a brain, Mine is scared of his own shadow,it's drivin' me insane, I ask him to do things, but he forgets his own name, So Oh Lord, won't you buy me a horse with a brain.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a horse that stays clean, I brush him, I groom him, I've considered chlorine, His colour's too chestnut for a horse with gray genes, So Oh Lord, won't you buy me a horse that stays clean.

Oh Lord won't you give him some hindquater drive, This horse is so lazy, I'm not sure he's alive, We bend and we circle, 'til way past five, So Oh Lord won't you give him some hindquater drive.

I swear my horse is coming up with some thing similar about his owner

I love the variation on the Mercedes Benz song! I have been singing that as I've been driving round tonight but will try it on my pony tomorrow.

I like to sing "Rawhide" to my pony to get her moving along. I used to sing "Little Drummer Boy" when I was nervous (this pony has never heard me sing that one though because she doesn't to anything to make me nervous).

Oh and I sometimes sing "Nelly the Elephant" because her name is Nelly.
 
Last season the theme tune was 'I don't feel like dancing' haven't got one yet this year.
When being carted I find 'jerusalem' very effective!
 
Horsey horsey don't you stop,
Just let your feet go clipity clop,
Your tail go swish,
And your wheels go round.
Giiiiddy up we're homeward bound!

...it's obviously intended for driving, but I like it!
 
Can i ask why anyone would sing to ther horse/pony???

mine would think i'd totally lost it.....as opposed to only partially ATM.

Me too!!! My Grandad used to sing this to me when I was a kid and he was giving me horsey rides around the lounge!!!!
 
Ten green bottles, and

There were 10 in the bed and the little one said Roll over ...

And the Skye Boat Song ... anything with a slow repetitive rhythm really!
 
The Mike Oldfield (I think) thing about big brown beastie, I'd rather be with you than flying through space (I can only remember a bit of it) You are my sunshine (that was Nell's song) Anything I can remember the words of, the tune is never right 'cos I can't sing.

I sing "The ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus" to him....

in my defence it always calms him down if he's being a bit spooky.

Is that the one that gets faster and more and more bits added on as you go throught the verses.

QR Glad people liked the Horsey song, just want to it clear I didn't make it up, my OH found it for me years ago when I was struggling in my lessons. He did add an extra verse on for my instructor about a horse with four legs can't remember that bit though, dont think it was very good, I think she found it funny!!
 
LOL glad to find someone else also sings the Father Ted Song "My lovely Horse". Domi loves that but i do get odd looks. I also sing the My Little Pony theme tune "my little pony, my little pony, winter is over spring is here" etc...

And also Four Legged Friend and Jerusalem! I tend to absolutely belt out songs whilst out hacking and get awfully embarrased when we meet walkers or other posher and more well behaved riders

Does anyone else sing "Julie and her dream of horses" by Belle and Sebastian or "horse with no name" (I think thats neil diamond?)

Someone at our yard sings "Im a little teapot" to her horse

Oh and Im a little scared of the horse whose owner sings Iron Maiden songs - what exactly does your horse do that makes you think of Bruce Dickinson!??!
