Hearts Strong as Horses, or Hearts as Strong as Horses,[1] is the first song of season four of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, featured in the fifth episode Flight to the Finish and sung by all three members of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. This song is used as training montage music while the Crusaders prepare for their flag-waving ceremony routine.

It marks the first time Claire Corlett sings as Sweetie Belle.[2] According to Ingram, this song was inspired by a "modern classic from Disney".[1] Lyricist Ed Valentine had "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor from Rocky III in mind when writing this song.[3]

This song serves as the first track on the album Songs of Ponyville.

Lyrics[]

CMC forming a big shadow of a pony S4E05
[Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle]
We're the toughest little ponies in town
Got the moves, got the mojo, no harder working ponies around
We are a trio, work as a team
We'll be the first ponies out on the flag-waving scene
We get going when the going gets tough
We know our very best is just never enough
We're kinda short, but so what? We don't get defeated
We could take a little break, but we don't need it
We've got hearts as strong as horses
We've got hearts as strong as horses
We've got hearts as strong as horses
We've got hea-a-a-arts, hearts strong as horses
When we put our minds together, we can achieve
We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and you should believe
We've got determination to represent the nation
For the win
We've got hearts as strong as horses
We've got hearts as strong as horses
We've got hearts as strong as horses
And we're playing to win as we gallop to glory
We can conquer any challenge we're in
We've got hea-a-a-arts, hearts strong as horses
Hearts strong as horses
