"The Horse" is an instrumental song by Cliff Nobles and Company. It was released as the B-side of the single "Love Is All Right" and is simply an instrumental version of that song. (Info taken from Wikipedia.) More than 50 years later, it continues to be a staple of marching bands and pep bands performing it at football and basketball games. Indeed, when I was growing up, I heard this at every basketball game I attended.
I based my version on the original, however, for a jazz combo lineup; the instruments involved are:
Trumpet
Sax section (alto, tenor, baritone)
Trombone
Guitar
Piano
Acoustic bass
Drum set
Vibraphone

I think of this piece every football season. Back in the late 1960s (the original was released in 1968) my high school band played it during their halftime performance. There was a tall, lanky black fellow who played cymbals for the band and during the drum break, he would stand in the middle of the formation and dance. At first, he would twirl the cymbals and just shuffle a bit. But as the season went on, he expressed himself more and more. The guy was an excellent dancer and a real crowd-pleaser. I never knew his name, but I can see him in my mind to this day.
And yes, Cliff Nobles version of “The Horse” is in my iTunes library.

I see; glad to hear that the cymbal man was enjoying himself; the world needs more people like that. I attended a private Christian school, but we didn't have a football team, so there was no marching band. I therefore had to settle for hearing it at pep rallies and basketball games. (Rather bizarrely, the school now has a football team, but no marching band due to insufficient funding, and the funding being put towards important things, because the building is both a school and a church. However, the football team doesn't play traditional 11-man football; it's just an 8-player variety.)
