Horses

Horses can be white
Horses can be black
Just as long as you sit on their back.

Horses can muster cattle,
and they can muster sheep
just as long as you let them sleep.

Horses can be calm
Horses can be crazy
They can even just be plain lazy!

It’s tough when you hit a drought
No feed for the cattle, not a tree in sight
But all you have do is fight.

Horses love you no matter what

The only thing to do is return the favour
But you always have to pick the right pellet flavour
