[BSL]

10 green bottles, calms us both, start at 100 though

 

[Sukistokes2]

Ok, I'll come clean.......I sing queen ......we are the champions ....he quite likes it I think, his ears flick back and he hadn't chucked me off!!!

 

[tangoharvey]

The owl and the pussycat, especially to calm her down or if I'm picking up smelly poo!!

 

[MarniL]

Usually any of the numerous showtunes that end up stuck in my head. Katie puts up with it without complaint, so it can't be that bad. My go-to song when I need to relax is Breathe Easy by Rachel Sermanni. There's been many a time when I've started singing it on hacks.

 

[my bfg]

If anything scary happens its the Wombles theme song for us! X

 

[AppaloosaPonyHorse]

Usually showtunes and also some random made up songs.

If he is worried or on his toes 'Do you hear the people sing' from Les Mis is my go to song.

 

[Sprig]

Christmas carols, all year round. It is all I know the words to!

 

[oldie48]

Irish folk songs, I'm not Irish and neither is the horse but they just seem to hit the spot!

 

[AmieeT]

Depends what song was on the easier pi last when I got out of the car (usually gets stuck in my head!)

Was Christmas Carol's last time though
Ax

 

[Equi]

At the moment im singing all about that bass bout that bass no trebble...lalala

 

[Madam Min]

Chloe usually gets serenaded with show tunes when out hacking!

 

[Ella19]

"I went to the animal fair" is one of my favourites and great for desenstising the babies to noises on their back!

Current favourite but a bit early is jingle bells. Its suits her trot so well

 

[Princess Rosie]

I'm afraid I sing scooby doo to the big man as he attempts a scooby doo leap into your arms when spooked. I also sing rosemary clooney (think it's something about mambo?) and change the words to mummy loves Rosie.... And a song from calamity jane "and it's Harry I'm going to marry" (can't remember the name of the song, to my miniature horse x.

 

[My Muppet]

My lad has very delicate little ears and little tolerance, I'm sure if I "sung" he would have me off and bog off to the hills before I could "Jingle my bells".

 

[Madali]

Don't ask me why. Brown girl in the ring by Boney M. I have recently started with Gary Glitter, I'm the leader of the pack as well.
What is more weird though is the girls I ride with are now singing it as well.

 

[LadyGascoyne]

The entire soundtrack of Moulin Rouge.


...

So. Ashamed.

 

[Red-1]

I did not realise I did until I got a head cam, and videoed a 2 hour ride. I sang, I spoke, I asked questions and I even answered them in a Jay voice. Some outtakes are even on a video on youtube. The conversation I did not put on film though was the conversation where I was commentating on my riding abilities, and questioning Jay as to whether I was riding like a slack bag of K***kers or like a bag of slack kn***ers!

The answer seemed obvious when I got home and saw the video, but at a time of high tension it seemed that my mind and voice were all over!

 

[Firefly9410]

Usually Ellie Goulding while I'm hacking along the road

 

[Meowy Catkin]

'Back in Black.'

 

[DTV]

Horse with no name by America.He nods his head in time as we walk along.Change the chorus to 'ive been through Trewidland on a horse with no mane' sometimes,lol.

 

[dreamcometrue]

I do

Lavender's Blue dilly dilly

The Holly and the Ivy

Brown girl in the Ring

ETA just seen that Madali does Brown girl in the ring as well. How strange.

 

[GLW]

All sorts! But her "theme tune" is Love Grows where my Rosemary Goes ('cause I'm a softy)

 

[chocolategirl]

You are my sunshine! I used to sing this to my dear departed boy all the time as he was palomino so in more ways than one it was very apt. I had 23 almost entirely blissful years with him. Best horse ever. Love all my current ones to pieces but if I do sing it's usually just to myself really.

 

[blitznbobs]

With my baby ' let it go' it reminds me not to hold onto the front end! Even when she moves really big..

 

[moscow_mule]

Da bird is the word keeps her calm(or distracted my my awful singing), and reminds me to breathe. God help the poor souls that come across us out and about

 

[lhotse]

I often sing to my horse, and it keeps me happy too! Sometimes it's the Follyfoot tune, others it's the song from The White Horses but more often it's a Levellers song as they are my favourite band!
This morning started with What A Beautiful Day followed by this lovely song..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQiqxl1-7gI
On such a beautiful morning, with the sun lighting up the mist and deer in the fields, both seemed appropriate and the horse seemed to enjoy my singing.

Not sure the locals agreed.....

 

[Sologirl]

You are My Sunshine
The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo (!)
On the Sunny Side of the Street

And anything else that's stuck in my head! LOL

 

[bakewell]

Golden Brown.
He is, and the lyrics are good/ appropriate, and I hum the musical bits.

 

[Sootsme]

Singing in the rain is my usual, strange as I'm a fair weather rider!
