Synopsis: Horse enslaved by pigeon routs square dance.
Comments: "Who's A Horse's" plays (they left off the ass). Silhouette in front of the moon shot. The horse doesn't like Homer, and considering how he uses the whip, it's not much of a surprise. Borders on an orchestra cartoon. Drummer looks like a darker Goofy. Cat looks Terry like. Possible edit in viewed following dance caller's egg head; I think it's a tobacco spitting gag that's been cut. I think the horse is going to hook up with Daisy pigeon at the end. Refers to itself as a mare tho, so I guess the horse is a she... Seems too forward to use "Al Falfa" on the drums... Cartoon lacks cohesiveness. Amputee butter churn.
Here, apparently, is a less (or un?)edited version:

(Full disclosure: I've never seen any other version than this, so I'm not sure what the Columbia House edit is like—I can just tell it's shorter by more than half a minute from your timecount.)
Homer Pigeon went on from here to star in hundreds of rather mediocre comic books.
The only part I don't see here is the part I used to see where a big-bellied male pig dances with a big-bosomed female pig to "The Arkansas Traveler."
