Singers and their horses

Later this month, Animal Planet is debuting a two-hour program about famous rock stars and their horses. Not pets,
just horses. It's called Trail Mix. One of the biggest names on the show is Sheryl Crow, who will talk about
her relationship with her four horses, and how they inspire her songwriting. Other singers on the program include
Aerosmith's Joe Perry, LeeAnn Rhimes, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Irish tenor Ronan Tyan. The show also features former
Matchbox 20 frontman Rob Thomas and his horse(s), which is sort-of surprising to me, because he just doesn't strike me
as the horseback-riding type. I'm not really sure what the horseback-riding type is, but the other singers featured on
the show seem like, yeah, they'd own horses. Two hours is an awful long time to talk about someone else's horses, but
if you're a fan of horses (or of those singers), I guess it could be interesting.Trail Mix premieres on Animal Planet on January 29th from 8-10 pm (ET).
