Gallop To Glory

Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop,
The sound of golden hooves thundering across the ground.
Swish-swash, swish-swash, swish-swash,
The sound of tender shoots swaying to a silent song.
Crash-crunch, crash-crunch, crash-crunch,
The sound of glossy fruits descending into waiting jaws.
Snort-thud, snort-thud, snort-thud,
The sound of a newborn facing it's biggest challenge.
Welcome to the world of the stunning Mustang,
A spirit of the West.
A million horseshoes have shaped this land.
But what will it bring for this tender, feeble colt?
Only the best.
