Charger Sonnet

Charger Sonnet

the horses on the pampas are more
friendly than the Russian horses on the steppe 
and not as cold. 
A Russian horse hates mankind and never expect 
preferential treatment  and will kick you 
if you show leniency thinks you have an agenda.
An Argentinean horse is easier to tame, trained
 right it will do the tango.

The Russian horse will kick you if you approach it 
from the rear as it doesn’t like surprises.
it will never trust you and it has to be tethered,
yet it is a strong horse if ridden right. 
The Argentinean horse will be pleasant and kind,
up to a point because it is so easily led astray for
an extra nose bag of  hay.
