Hearing Their Hoof Beats

Their hoof beats pound into my dreams Spanish mustangs, weighing over a ton Florida cracker horse saved by breeders Marsh tacky from South Carolina Arriving in dun, bay, roan, black and grullo There are eighty thousand feral horses in the US today Wild mustangs living off the land in Utah, Wyoming and Texas They would probably scoff at the dinky Choctaws in Mississippi For those specimens e a mere thirteen to fourteen hands high. Equidae fossils have been found in Wyoming Proof we had horses here three million years ago Before climate change made them extinct. Luckily Cortez brought them back in 1519.
