"Howlin' Wolf was born Chester Arthur Burnett on June 10, 1910 in White Station, Mississippi, a tiny railroad stop near West Point in the northeastern part of the state. ... At thirteen, Wolf fled his uncle's home, hopping a train to the Mississippi Delta where he reunited with his father and had a loving home at last."

I'm guessing trains rather than horses, but who knows? there are a alot of trains in the songs I've sung and also mention of river sides generally in blues. Jumping trains was the escape mechanism. But horses (before tractors) in the fileds, so could be too, I guess anything with a rhythm you can sing to... old pump engines a great to play along with to too... ;>)

Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made"
