No feet, No Horse!
I threw a saddle on Mystify today,
and went out for a little ride.
She pranced along on four sound feet,
and filled my heart with pride.
It was just about this time last year
that red dun filly showed up lame,
a badly split and deformed hoof,
I feared she'd never be sound again.
Each week I rasped and sealed the crack,
with epoxy and resin glue,
trimmed her toes up good and short,
and snapped on a rubber shoe.
"No feet, no horse" I can't argue that,
but I stuck hard to the plan.
With rasp and glue I brought her through,
'cause she was just too pretty to can.
