Check out this acoustic performance of Anne Wilson of her song ‘Hold Your Horses.’ She is performing backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, and this song is from her new album titled Stars. It’s not just another country love song, but one with a message about waiting for the right person and guarding your heart before you give it away.

‘Before you saddle up with him and ride off in that sunset
It's okay to pull them reins if you can't say he's the one yet
Ain't nothing wrong with dreaming on 'bout rings and swings on porches
Before you let him hold your heart, hold your horses’

What a great song that speaks to young women about the importance of patience in dating. “In this world that we’re living in today, there are so many female artists that write songs about boys and breakups, and I just felt like there was no song with a message like this to remind girls of that,” Anne Wilson shared. “I’m hoping it helps to encourage these girls in a world that feels so dark right now, so they can be reminded to guard their hearts and not give them to someone else until they feel it’s right.”

Anne has also shared about her third studio album, Stars, which includes ‘Hold Your Horses’ along with 11 other tracks. “As a little girl, I dreamed of becoming an astronaut. I’ve always been in awe of the night sky—the mystery, the beauty, the way it makes you feel small and seen all at once. But somewhere along the way, life happened,” she said. Heartbreak, loss, and disappointment can make you forget how to dream. This album is my reminder that the same God who created the stars created me, and you, too. God hasn’t forgotten you. He’s placing you right where you’re meant to be.”

We hope that you enjoyed this acoustic performance from Anne Wilson today of her song ‘Hold Your Horses.’
