December 13 is National Day of the Horse in the United States. In 2004, United States Senate Resolution 452 recognized December 13 as a day to be mindful of the contribution of horses to the economy, history, and character of the United States.

Besides, horses are awesome; I love horses. Next to dogs, they’re my favorite animal.

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention horses?
