Equestrian Poems

Show Riders Have A Horse,
And They Love to Do A Course.
When They Are Done,
They Wait Around to See If They Have Won.
Blue, Red, Green, or Yellow, 
Show Riders Are So Mellow.
Later in The Barn Giving the Horse A Bath,
Show Riders...Read More

Striving to obtain all lofty goals set,
while dwelling not upon those never met.
Refusing to quit and staying the course,
getting up from the dust and back on the horse.
No matter how discouraging things may seem,
these all are a part of chasing...Read More

Horse drawn carriages were at the will of the stag
What if he had a scrap with his nagging old nag
Must be the same
In the equestrian game
It's a universal complaint for us male fleabags

  Racer
Flat out speed
Hot blooded steed

  Pacer
Speed walking race
With unmatched grace

  Steeplechaser 
Fearless full fledge
Ace over hedge

  Dressage
Arabesques on display
The equestrian ballet

  Draft
Flowing feathered heels
Beer on wheels

  Trail
Rent the power
By the hour

I looked a gift horse in the mouth
I swear it stared right back at me
And dared me to get equestrian with him
A healthy fear of animals
Larger than oneself
Ended our standoff 
And we both left pissed off...Read More

Dragon Sire take me higher to the kingdom we desire,

These violet wings that I wear make me a Princess...Read More

We of the upper persuasion
resent the insipid invasion
of the lessers you see who lack pedigree
who properly are nothing like me.

My people have always been seen
where miscreants never have been
playing polo the equestrian way
or golfing where elites only play.

Better to inherit...Read More

the weight  of the world came crashing down
thoughts of suicide and I'm running wild
one can climax in a dream with an evil scream
all your weight falls on me it brings me down

out of the vials of the pit of my soul
 one may evoke fear or that which hurts you the most

O Kentucky, my love
Why doth thou wear such a sad Equus frown — 
Hast not thine squire Apprentice
	swept thy Medicaid stalls clean?
Though stable be thy bridled heart,
	who knoweth whence
 a Church chill shalt descend Down
Giving thus thine joyously warm soul

To look deeper then ever before
 shattered glass on the parchment floor

 In a way we are all aliens in disguise

 Can't we see through all these twisted lies
 Does this notion of thought come at...Read More

Sophie has been around animals all her life, 
‘Cos her dad’s a farmer and she loves horses, 
She was born on the 5th day of May in 1990,
With no nerve feeling in her fingers or feet.

The elegance is a born gift
The elegance is a natural fact
That some beings do receive
Even before their birth.


And, the elegance is a delight!
A delight present in the allure.
Aye. The allure as the posture.
With a simple glance, revealed.

Nothing is so beautiful
as equestrian events,
watching graceful horses,
while droppings add their scents.

For true equine lovers,
there is such a thrill
in the coordination of
a well-performed quadrille.

This is one Olympic sport,
where both he and she compete.
Jumping fences or dressage;
they're equal at the meet....Read More

Lee Pearson is a para-equestrian athlete, 
Because in horse jumping he does compete, 
And has arlthrogryposis multiplex congenita,
Which he was born with in 1974, not bitter.

He’s a ten-times paralympic gold medalist,
‘Cos since Sydney 2000 he’s a perfectionist;
He won three gold...Read More

Seeing sculpture compared to painting
Contrasted imagery alluding to victory
With victor being both man and animal
Subservience dominates both images
Bare head and feet noticeable to viewer
A horse head raised; the other lowered
Who are these men and beasts?
Smug facial expression common to both
Though...Read More

I've always admired 
horses
and I guess I most surely 
always will
No legend without em' 
complete
The unsung heroes of 
any heroic battle

Pony, colt, filly or mare
ride it bareback if you 
dare

Ride them to a trot, ride 
them to a canter

The Headless Greenlandic Horseman
A Meditation in 6 parts.

Avalanche

The sky is starry
The night is scary
I'm very afraid
of the living dead;

On a mission; or Fugitives in the city

The headless Greenlandic horseman
speaks Kalaallisut very well indeed,
plus Dansk and English! What a man!
A polyglot...Read More

A delicate ember awaits anonymously,
A parceled out soul awaiting un-abandonment,
Equestrian voices longing to be heard,
Magicians waiting for the magic word,
But you see??...
You already are what you long to be....Read More
