THE HORSEMAN

by Jim Antley

 



To the pen each morning, the first horse that he brings
is usually a favorite that's catching on to things.

He moves quiet, he moves slow,
each move has a purpose the horse seems to know.
They understand each cue and the message it sends.
To the left, to the right, as the bond begins.

From the saddle he shows there is nothing to fear.
Follow their nose and they'll learn to steer.
He trots circle after circle, they slide, they spin.
Over and over they practice, again and again.

Back to round and round they go,
the moves are now beginning to f low,
He rates'em up, he slows'em down
stop, back, round and round.

All of the effort that he puts in
is not merely measured by the judge in the pen.
Ribbons and buckles are all very fine,
but a good home for each horse is what's on his mind.
A gentle touch and a job to do
are things that will keep your horse honest and true.


Skyview Ranch is located halfway between Dallas and Houston, Overlooking  I-45
