Good on you Bob that is a ripper -a heartfelt tribute. Thought you were writing about our old Bill at first :lol: because you had ticked all the boxes :lol: (Sorry Bill the devil made me think it :twisted: )

Enjoyed the read Bob - I love Horse poems - this reminded me of Slims song about the Baldy Bay which is a favourite of mine.

Cheers

Maureen

Lovely, really lovely Bob. I got a real sense of what a good mate the old horse was. Very touching,

Heather :)

As you can see by my previous poems I do not write much serious stuff but when I do it is about the things that matter. Lost a little dog last year who was 15 years old and will post a poem when I get it finished.

Thank you all for the positive comments.

Cheers Bob

Good one Bob. Good to see you have a soft side! My old horse is showing his age now and it makes me sad. :cry: He earned his retirement and deserves a few easy years just eating and swishing flies.
