All the Pretty Little Horses, written in 1998, is an American folk lullaby in minor mode. It was dedicated to McGinty’s best friend, Paulette, who was diagnosed with cancer.

Writing this arrangement provided McGinty with a sense of hope during this difficult time and served as an honest expression of her feelings surrounding this personal tragedy.

The folk song, possibly English in origin, has a plaintive quality and serves as an excellent continuation of the folk song tradition.
