Taking One Fence At a Time

I count my strides Since I know how to ride The idea is to figure out a problem And if I do it with grace, I can honestly say I got em. With every fence I take I really hope I can make Since a rail goes down Everybody in the arena will have a frown But when I do it clear What do I hear? But the clapping cheers Of those enjoying being here It is the Grand Prix with fences so high That my horse and I Will hang on tight giving it a nice try After everyone goes It is off to the jump off to see who is best in show Where the spectacle turns into a race If all the fences stay in their place So, after the class presents a winner We go enjoy dinner Reflecting on what was done And knowing it was quite fun
