Horses and Gates

Horses and Gates

 

When the hay bales arrived

Bullet and cinnamon were there

Our horses that we prized

And loved beyond compare

 

The two always came

Very spirited and alive

We also fed them grain

That we sometimes could supply

 

Gates were sometimes opened

At times with no one around

With no latch ever broken

Or explanation to be found

 

An old timer of local fame

Claimed horses could open gates

And he often claimed

He’d seen them do so many days

 

And the old timer saw

Many other things too

Like math problems horses solved

And how they bowed when through

 

There were other things that baffled

With no explanation at all

But the old timer knew a rascal

And thought it was his fault

        i'm glad you enjoyed this posting. Horses are remarkable animals. I really like to see them run and jump... and they are such fun to ride.
