  Judy and the Dream of Horses - Belle & Sebastian
  Wild Horses - Stones
  Horses - Patti Smith
  
  Chestnut Mare - Byrds (including McGuin's embarrassing pseudozoophilia lyric "I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
  And when I do I'll give her my brand
  And we'll be friends for life
  She'll be just like a wife
  I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can")
  
  
  Anything by Foals.
  Or Band of Horses.
  Or Horse.

  Blimey that was quick! The chap says that if it doesn't have anything about sugarlumps in the lyrics or two Irish priests looking wistful in the video it's not a proper horse song. I appreciate that narrows the field a little.

  It doesn't really mention horses anywhere but I still think Jonathan Richman's Egyptian Reggae is the ultimate horse song.

  Bob Dylan - All the Tired Horses. That'll get very old very quickly though.

  .... then there's of course Weebl's [Amazing Horse](http://www.weebls-stuff.com/songs/Amazing+Horse/), Black Box' Ride on Time (clearly a horse song), and Aphrodite's Child's Four Horsemen.

  The Divine Comedy (aka Neil Hannon who wrote 'My Lovely Horse') also have the rather more Scott Walker 'The Dogs and the Horses'. Wonderful song.

  Stand and Deliver...although I think the horse was implied. Adam and the Ants also did a song called Why Do Girls Love Horses?

  My lovely horse, running through the field Where are you going, with your fetlocks blowing in the wind? I want to shower you with sugar lumps, and ride you over fences Polish your hooves every single day, and bring you to the horse dentist My lovely horse, you're a pony no more Running around with a man on your back, like a train in the night... wahhhhhh

  Second Weebl's Amazing Horse, though I think the Nerd Follia's cover version is better -
