A Tribute to Red

My Chestnut boy

You are the best.

I love you more

Then all the rest.

You lift me up

When I am down.

With you right here

There is no frown

You give me wings

When I can not fly.

You give your all

When I ask you to try.

You dance around

the dressage ring.

You make me so proud

I want to sing.

Our ribbons might

not be blue.

But darling boy

I'll always choose you.

Even when we

make mistakes.

You, big Red,

take the cake.

We've galloped along

a sandy beach.

And through the forest

with great big leaps.

We've had some fun,

you and I.

Our memories are something

I cannot buy.

You big man

have stolen my heart.

You took it then,

right at the start.

When your old

and need a rest.

Of my care

you'll have the best.

I'll rug you up

against the cold.

To anyone else

you'll never be sold.

Thanks, Red

for all you are.

Your the best,

you are my star.
