A singer/songwriter who's songs have been recorded by the likes of Reba McEntire, JoDee Messina and Little Texas, Templeton Thompson's third CD is a collection of songs inspired by her love of horses.

notes

Singer/songwriter Templeton Thompson draws from a deep well of influences that combine with her Texas roots to give her style of country music a distinctive, soulful edge. She names Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow and Don Williams as her most influential heroes.
You can find her songs on million-selling CD's from country superstars like Reba McEntire, Jo Dee Messina and Little Texas. Her song, “Settle Down Cinderella” is featured on the 2006 20th Century/Fox Motion Picture, “Dr. Doolittle 3”
She's one of Nashville's sought after session vocalists having sung countless demos as well as background vocals for major label artists like Reba McEntire. She has performed on stage for audiences across the US, in Europe and in Japan.
Additionally, Templeton serves on the board of directors for the Nashville chapter of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. She’s also been named worldwide ambassador for EAGALA (the Equine Assisted Growth And Learning Association).
Templeton was recently named the top female country artist by AmericanIdolUnderground.com. Other honors include being named among the top artists of the year by Texas radio DJs in early ’05. Her first single “If I Didn’t Need The Money”, spent 8 weeks in the Top 10 on the Texas Music Chart. Her CD “i remember you” remains an “Editor’s Choice” on CD Baby.com.
An avid horsewoman, Templeton was asked to join country artists Clay Walker and Chris Cagle, golf legend Tom Watson, as well as football Hall of Famers Joe Montana and Mel Blount to ride and perform at the Walker/Watson Charity Cutting Horse Event in Kansas City.
Combining her love for horses with her passion for music, Templeton includes major horse expos and other National horse events in her touring schedule…often performing from horseback. At the 2006 All American Quarterhorse Congress in Columbus, Ohio, she performed to a sold-out crowd during the Freestyle reining finals.
With 3 CDs to her credit, “i remember you”, “i still feel” and her newly released “girls & horses”, Templeton maintains a busy touring and promotional schedule.

    My brother passed away recently and I had trouble finding peace. While driving, I began listening to Girls & Horses. Even though the songs on this album are mostly about women, they also described my brother perfectly. I now know that all I have to do is listen to one of Templeton's albums, and I have my brother back with me. Templeton's music is the greatest.

    I absolutely LOVE this CD. The song Girls & Horses is right out of my life! Guardian Angel is also a favorite as I have learned more from the back of a horse than most folks will ever know! I have passed on Templeton's myspace to all my "hay buddies". What a voice!

    I listen to the demo and knew it was songs that I would like. Once it arrived my 17yr old daughter has taken over my CD. She can't wait until she can take it and let the leaders of or Cajun Cowgirl Flag Team listen to it, she so wants to do a routine to Cowgirl Creed and then our lil Cajun Cowbabes ride to Girls & Horses for our first Winter Series Rodeo.

    This is a great CD. Anyone who is passionate about horses will love this CD. I feel these songs were written for those of us who were born with the love of horses.

  • Girls and Horses
    author: Judy Keck

    This song captures the passion I feel and have felt for all the horses that have blessed my life. Why do we go out to the barn before dawn to feed, hay, water and clean up their mess for the night before, then do it all over again before we go to bed? Why do we stay up all night walking that colicy mare or foal watch in early February? It is a question that cannot be answered any other way but love, respect and admiration for the most beautiful animal God ever created.

  • WOW!!!

  • Girls and Horses... a NATURAL, done to perfection!!!!
    author: Tisa of Posh Pony Company

    We're an equestrian family who takes our 1000 lb friends on vacation with us. The CD spoke to me about that magical relationship with horses that we share. "She Remembers Riding" had me in tears. "Girls and Horses" was right on!!! (Although my son and his "horse that no girl wanted", have a special bond.. built on patience and trust!) Love Horses? I think you'll Love this CD!!!

  • Songs about horses! WOW
    author: Tracey Anderson

    A CD pretty much dedicated to horses and the relationships we women have with them! What more needs to be said. I have found the cd that brings it all home for me. And put into words by a very beautiful voice.

  • I love the CD!!!

  • Fantastic cd to play in our Aussie saddlery
    author: Neightac Saddlery

    What a find! We play this CD in our Australian saddlery. Adds to the atmosphere perfectly!

  • A great CD for all horse lovers!
    author: Janice

    This CD touches all the right places when it comes to how we feel about our horses. I'm from Australia and plan to let my friends know about it!!!

  • Everything I was hoping for...
    author: Whitney H.

    I have been looking for some good "barn music" with a good beat and clean lyrics for forever, and when I came across Templeton's latest, I was pretty sure I had found it. Ordered it right away and was not disappointed! She has an incredible voice and I love that she writes her own songs (and then gives the "story" behind each song on this website). This music sounds great coming from my barn stereo, and my horses nickered back at the horse in the CD the first time they heard it! Thanks, Templeton, for the great CD... keep up the good work. PS: Also a special thanks to CD Baby for the terrific, upbeat service!

  • I love it!!!!
    author: Cathy Cox

    I have had horses since I was 4 and boy does it bring back memories. My mother died when I was 7 and if it had not been for my best fried, a horse I don't know what I would have done. Thanks so much for giving credit where it's due.

  • Wonderful! I loved It!!!
    author: Betty Thorson

    Being Horse people,my daughters and I loved this CD. All the songs are inspiring!

  • Templeton is an unbelievable talent that is poised to rise to the top
    author: Ellen Reid Smith, author of the book Cowgirl Smarts: How to Rope

    I was so unbelievably honored when Templeton wrote her song Cowgirl Creed based on the Cowgirl Creed in my book, Cowgirl Smarts. The song truly exemplifies the feelings I had when I wrote the book. I'm brought to tears when Templeton sings Cowgirl Creed and women jump to their feet whooping and clapping--its the new anthem for cowgirls everywhere and for women who want to embrace their cowgirl spirit. It's destined to be Templeton's new hit because it's filled with the passion that makes all her music authentic and moving. We all have a cowgirl spirit waiting to be set free and Templeton's music helps us find that spirit deep inside ourselves. My advice: sing along to Templeton's CDs, then saddle up and follow your dreams!

  • Check out the shocker surprise in this CD!
    author: Billy Ray Littlejohn

    Country yes! However, there is a wide variety of moods, emotions, and additional genre influences in this CD. Production is exquisite, vocals are the very best, and there is a surprise cut hidden inside, but you will have to buy it to hear it! I'll never tell, but you won't be disappointed! Buy it today!

  • love it, great music,as all her cd's.
    author: Jennifer Keating

    Listened as soon as I got it. Was great, Didn't expect much less, love all her cd's. Keep up the good work and great songs!! Best of luck!!

  • Excellent for the Horse Lovers
    author: Rebecca McDiarmid

    The music, lyrics, horse nickering in the background. You just want to sing along. Beautiful and definitely worth having.

  • Awesome music and Templeton Your voice is beautiful...
    author: Pam In CA

    I bought the first CD at the Horse Expo in 2004 and was really happy with it. But this CD is just so awesome and the songs are written with such passion for life and of course Horses...So Templeton --- Great Job and I can't wait for more CD's. Have a happy and safe Holiday and keep writing and singing..your voice is beautiful.

  • Pure cowgirl emotion!
    author: Patti Lou

    Lovely vocals and emotional lyrics bring the listener to tears at times. "Guardian Angel" tell us "baby don't worry, I know you're gonna be just fine" and to "never ride faster than your Guardian Angel can fly". I think that Templeton is the voice of that angel! Great writing and wonderful performances on every track.
