A little bay horse
Was led up on the stand
He waited for the bids
Shying from the auctioneer's hand.
But none ever came
His eyes were so sad
So I couldn't help but shout,
"10 bucks for the lad!"
The bay looked up at me
And I saw a twinkle in his eye
A glimmer amidst darkness
And I couldn't deny
That I felt there was much greatness to come
From this humble bay colt
Who had appeared so glum.
So I took him home with me
And after a year of pasture, training, and love
I was positive this little horse was sent from those above.
He jumped every fence
And ran every race
All the while
A determined look on his face.
Sometimes he lost, and sometimes he won
But he always went home happy
Satisfied with what he'd done
A slight smile on his face
As if to say,
"No one can ever stop me. I'll try my best in every way."

My little ol' pony with mane so long,
Spinning and sliding, nary a hoof placed wrong.

A little bay horse

Shying from the auctioneer's hand.
