[Ads-l] "Save a horse, ride a cowboy:

[Peter Reitan]

One year earlier, different singer:


"With roots in Manitoba and Rapid City, S. D., Bonar - pronounced like "honor" - exudes the bright-eyed charm of a small-town girl, but with hints of big-city cynicism.  On the CD's [(The Size of Plantets)] opening track, "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy," she half-heardedly dreams of a home on the range with horses and 12 kids.


The Star Tribune (Minneapolis), April 25, 2003, page E4 (Newspapers.com).


It is not the same as Big and Rich's "Hick Hop" rap of the same name.
