Horses is the debut studio album by American musician Patti Smith, released in 1975. A fixture of the the burgeoning New York punk rock music scene, Patti began recording Horses with her band after being signed to Arista Records, with John Cale producing the album. With its fusion of simplistic rock and roll structures and Smith's freeform, beat poetry-infused lyrics, Horses was met with widespread critical acclaim upon its initial release.
