Horse was born in Newport on Tay, Fife on Saint Cecelia's Day (the saint of music). At the age of two the family moved to the town of Lanark where she spent her formative years. Having written and sung from an early age, Horse received her first guitar on her 10th birthday. Throughout her school years she performed in concerts and teamed up with Sandy Ash. She later began an impressive collaboration with A ngela McAlinden a writing partnership that lasted for 19 years, they were later joined by bass and drums. Astrakhan was the name that followed, along with it a new batch of songs. One of those songs, '...And She Smiled', was the track that landed a place on the Melody Maker's Playback album. However it wasn't until their next demo, featuring ‘You Could Be Forgiven', that publishers began to take note. The demo was singled out by Alex Radvanyi of CBS songs (now EMI), and eventually a deal was signed in 1986. In March 1987 a TV appearance on The TUBE was scheduled. It wasn't really until the Autumn, that their hard work was finally rewarded; when lengthy negotiations resulted in a deal being signed on December 23, 1987 with the fledgling label Capitol UK! 'Forgiven' and 'Sweet Thing' were then recorded as potential singles, and a video for Forgiven was soon arranged and shot in and around Soho. Just as ‘Forgiven' was being released however,.Horse began having difficulties with her voice, finding herself having to force her voice to get the correct pitch. It was then discovered she had a node on her left vocal chord. She underwent surgery in London and when the time came for Horse to try her voice again, a session took place in Utopia Studios in London. A couple of notes had disappeared at the bottom of her range but at least 4 or 5 appeared at the top! Time: 8:00 PM $7.00 - $15.00
