Some packed us as kids
Or with our fat asses
Ride after ride
They taught the masses
They steadied us when balance went askew
The most valuable horse
You ever knew
We kicked them and tugged them
Like a rambling dolt
They never ran off
And never did bolt
They taught us to walk, trot and canter
A gift of learning
Like some equine Santa
Some looked like chunks
Others more fancy
Steady in their gaits
Rarely all dancey
And all of us to the very last one
Learned from a school horse
And we learned a ton
So the next time you see that fat lazy plug
Give him a kiss and give him a hug
For none of us would be where we are
If we didn’t first learn on this equine star
