Thirteen Fine Thoroughbreds - Tongue-Twister

Through the forest tear thirteen fine thoroughbreds
Fraught with tension they flick their fair heads
Thrashing through the thickest thickets fittest first
Thundering from forest for the fields they thirst
Freed from their flight they finish together
Thirteen fine thoroughbreds frolic forever

Hello, Nick I've read through quite a few poets' examples with no hesitation but you definitely tripped me up 'through the thickest thickets!' Well done!
