contents Let $Γ\subset PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$ be such that the space $X=Γ\backslash PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$ is not compact. Let $(h_t)$ be the horocycle flow acting on $X$. We show that for every $x\in X$ that is not periodic for $(h_t)$ and for every $δ\in (0,1)$ the orbit $\{h_{n^{2-δ}}x\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ is dense in $X$. Assuming additionally the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture we show that for every non-periodic $x\in X$, $\{h_{p}x\}_{p- \text{prime}}$ is dense in $X$. Finally we show that for $Γ=PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$, $\{h_{n^2}y_q\}_{n<q}$ equidistribute, as $q\to \infty$ along primes congruent to $1 \pmod{4}$, towards Haar measure, where $\{y_q\}$ is a sequence of periodic points of period $q$.

Let $Γ\subset PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$ be such that the space $X=Γ\backslash PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$ is not compact. Let $(h_t)$ be the horocycle flow acting on $X$. We show that for every $x\in X$ that is not periodic for $(h_t)$ and for every $δ\in (0,1)$ the orbit $\{h_{n^{2-δ}}x\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ is dense in $X$. Assuming additionally the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture we show that for every non-periodic $x\in X$, $\{h_{p}x\}_{p- \text{prime}}$ is dense in $X$. Finally we show that for $Γ=PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$, $\{h_{n^2}y_q\}_{n<q}$ equidistribute, as $q\to \infty$ along primes congruent to $1 \pmod{4}$, towards Haar measure, where $\{y_q\}$ is a sequence of periodic points of period $q$.
