Might Tango (1971 - 1995) was a top eventing horse trained and ridden by American Bruce Davidson.

Might Tango was found by Robert Tindle as a mount for Bruce Davidson. The gelding had raced as a two-year-old in California before he began his eventing career. As a relatively inexperienced eventing horse, Might Tango took Davidson to a win at the 1978 World Championships in Lexington, earning the individual gold medal and team bronze at the young age of seven.[https://web.archive.org/web/20121022165719/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,948710-1,00.html "A Touch of Time and Elegance"]. TIME Magazine. 10/2/1978. Referenced February 2, 2008.

Might Tango lived to the age of 24, and is now buried at Davidson's Chesterland Farm in Unionville, Pennsylvania.
