From sturdy ponies to elegant thoroughbreds, horses are an indelible part of Ireland's history, work, and play. Now The Chieftains, who performed the soundtrack for the National Geographic television special, "Ballad of the Irish Horse", evoke through their unique style of music the world of Irish horses and the people who ride them, train them, breed them, trade them, and - most of all - love them.
All in all an album that is a fitting celebration of one of the longest-standing love stories on earth: the romance of the Irish and their horses.
