Horse Poems & Quotes

Rio’s a horse, ornery as can be
Once he ran me into a tree
He’s gentle, obedient, and kind
No wait, I’m out of my mind
Because nice, polite, and sweet
Is a part of him that I’ll never meet.

He doesn’t amount to much
But he come through in the clutch
I bought him for not much money, of course
Although for a couple hundred dollars, he’s not a bad roping horse
Along with my dog named Black Bart
We have a team no cow could outsmart

Morning comes, the day is gonna be hot
This will be a good day, or so I thought
I climb on Rio and he bolts like a shot
He goes one way and I hit the dirt
Dang it! I got manure on my favorite shirt
Nothing will get through his hard head
But I was furious and so I said,
Pull one more stunt like that you retched toad
And you will be down the road.

There’s a few cows we gotta find
Alright, let’s try this one more time
That’s over a hundred cattle that we have to brand
Both of you do your jobs and you won’t get canned
Bart get that calf over there
Or over here I don’t care
Yes, as mule stubborn as my team my be
Together we make one heck of a trio,
And I just love ropin’ off Rio.

It’s a perfect day the race
I’m first in line, so I’ll have to set the pace
We know we only have one chance
My horse tells me he’s ready
As we walk down the alleyway and he starts to prance
He may be little but his heart is bold
I know will him our time will hold
And we’ll take home the gold

My anticipation is growing, as my partner fights the bit
I drop my hands and it seems by horse’s hoooves,
the ground is never hit
He loves to run and sometimes I think he swears if
You’re not making dust you’re eating it
Around the first barrel we fly
As if my companion doesn’t even have to try

Now to the second with my trusted steed
we soar down and around at full speed
Only one more left and his motivation more stern
He knows there’s only one more job to do;
Turn and Burn
