My Lovely Horse is a song featured in the hit comedy series Father Ted. It was written by Graham Linehan, Arthur Mathews and Neil Hannon (of The Divine Comedy), and appeared in the episode "A Song for Europe", in which Ted (Dermot Morgan) and Dougal (Ardal O'Hanlon) sing it for Ireland at "A Song For Ireland" (which is shown every year), a contest to determine who will represent Ireland at the "Eurosong" Contest. There, they were given "0 Points" by the juries of France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Denmark, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Luxembourg, The Netherlands and Norway.

According to the DVD commentary, the video is based on "That's What Friends Are For" by The Swarbriggs, a genuine Irish Eurovision competitor in 1975.

The song was released on CD as a B-side to The Divine Comedy's single "Gin Soaked Boy". The track lasts 1:23.
