Stavesacre lead singer Mark Salomon and Starflyer 59 founder Jason Martin wrote all songs on the band's self-titled debut album."[http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=NEON%20HORSE&search_in=a&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=30&start=1 ACE Title Search: Neon Horse]", retrieved July 20, 2007. The September 2007 issue of Alternative Press states, "[Y]ou'll notice that you never see them in the same room at the same time with members of Stavesacre, Starflyer 59 and Joy Electric."

On April 10, 2008, Neon Horse performed live at the House of Blues in Anaheim. Mark Salomon (of Stavesacre) was the singer, Jason Martin (of Starflyer 59) played guitar, and Steven Dail (of Project 86 and Crash Rickshaw) played bass.

On July 28, 2009, their second album titled Haunted Horse: Songs of Love, Defiance, and Delusion was made available for purchase in both mp3 and CD format.

As of 2011, Neon Horse's artist profile is no longer featured on the Tooth & Nail Records' 'Current Artists' website, but the band did resurrect in 2024 with a four-song EP, Habit of Creature, on CD, vinyl, and digital formats on the Velvet Blue Music label.
