We hope 'Set us Free' will highlight the need for greater compassion towards horses all over the world.

Ferdinand won the Kentucky Derby and he was Horse of the Year in 1987.

When he stopped winning Ferdinand never made it to green pastures for a well deserved retirement, he ended up as horse meat.

*Set us Free*

You been a pickin' on me, you been a hittin' on me
Yeah all through history you been a kickin' on me
Well we got friends they all know the score
They're right here breakin' down the slaughterhouse door
You been a pickin' on me yeah, you're gonna set me free

You been a whippin' my back, don't let a man do that
Yeah all through history you wanna lash my back like that
Well now the reins are in the other hand
You lost your rights say the chief law man
You been a hittin' on me yeah, they're gonna set us free

Well I ain't a horse with no name
You kill our souls you gonna carry this shame
Take a horse to water but he just won't drink
I know your game no matter what you think

SOLO

Well I ain't a horse with no name
You kill our souls you gonna carry this shame
Oh take a horse to water but he just won't drink
I know your game no matter what you think

You wanna mess with me, I might knock out your teeth
Yeah all through history you wanna make us bleed an' bleed
Well we got friends they all scratch our backs
The rope's untied don't take up the slack
Don't go a pickin' on me, they're gonna set me free
They gonna set us free, they gonna set us free
Yeah all through history you never set us free
Well we got friends they all know the score
They're right here breakin' down the slaughterhouse door
They gonna set us free yeah, they gonna set us free
They gonna set us free, they gonna set us free
Oh the sun's gonna shine on our backs they're gonna set us free yeah
They're gonna set us free, they're gonna set us free
Oh the sun's gonna shine on our backs n' we'll be runnin' free...
