Unsung Heroes
What would Westerns be without Horses
Would our heroes be as well known
Without their equine companions
They’d chase the bad guys on their own.
Roy would be lost without Trigger
And Gene without Champion - no way
Hoppy relied upon Topper
To keep the bad guys at bay.
“Hi-Ho Silver” yelled the Lone Ranger
Tonto followed with “Git em up Scout”
These guys relied on their horses
That’s what Westerns were all about.
Tom Mix rode Tony The Wonder Horse
That goes back a long time ago
Cisco Kids mount was Diablo
Red Ryder rode Thunder, I know.
There were other well known horses
Like Flicka and Thunderhead,
Fury and National Velvet
Black Beauty and of course Mr. Ed.
So as these Heroes rode the range
To find an outlaw who’s hiding
Lets pause and give some credit
To the Horses that they are riding.
