The hooves pound

My oh my do they pound 

On that hard, frozen ground

The wind through that beautiful mane

The wind through the rider's hair

You can see the connection

You can see the determination

You can see the passion

My oh my do those hooves pound

That connection you long to have

That determination that lets you know that they can achieve anything

That passion for doing what they love together

The silent communication that no one else can understand

The bond between a horse and rider

That bond that runs through their veins

You can see the adrenaline as they pass others

They are in their own little world

The outside world has faded from them

As the crowds cheer and the picture is taken

My oh my do those hooves pound
