Short Equestrian Poems

To become an equestrian first-class
  Jerry had to learn to ride on the grass
    He took off the saddle
    The equus skedaddled
  Poor Jerry! He thought 'bareback' meant bare-hass...

Art is often quite pedestrian,
Lacking jumps to be equestrian.

Hat
                   Big, small
                  Fit to wear.
            Equestrian helmet
                 Ride to wear
                  'orse gaits
                    Capped...

She is born not of British Royalty  
but that of Movie Star, Grace Kelly
Gucci Equestrian rider and her

Charlotte, far prettier than her grandmother...

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...

Beth a culinarian
Married Bob an equestrian
Their lives took different courses
Bob was Jewish, Beth Unitarian

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...

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....

I say nothing
I do not know the times
Transcendent pictures parade themselves
Charmingly cheering the women of substance
Women never more beautiful
But the beautiful damsels or mere superb
Like Leonardo da Vinci's horse of Sforza equestrian
complete yet unfinished wanting...

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....

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

Such a wonderful sight 
A horse going into flight 
Captured in a lens 
Documenting by the writer's pen 
For once  a horse was used for war 
And now has a prescence of peace with a score 
May we continue the beauty of a horse show 
Snickering at others athletic events saying 'what do you really know" 
You see it is the beauty of a horse that can never cease 
With its artistic message reminding us all of the word peace
