One, Two, One, Two, Land!

I'm happiest on the back of the animal I love....

 

 

One, two, one, two, land!

 

 

Her bay coat shines in the winter light

Wisps of a black mane bounce as she swings her head

Powerful muscles move smootly with each step

Oh what a wonderful creature she is

 

 

One, two, one, two , land!

 

 

I sit on her in a black seat

Dark brown leather ropes intetwined with my fingers

I post up as her strides grow

We are one entity

 

 

One, two, one, two, land!

 

 

My outside leg moves back

Her ears lay back but then come forward

She leaps into the saddle as she takes to a canter

Her hooves pound the ground as she goes

 

 

One, two, one, two, land!

 

 

She twists her head as she makes the bend

Perfectly beautiful, just like in her grand showing days

She sees the two jumps, cross rails

My elbows bend as I hold her back

 

 

One, two, one, two, land!

 

 

She takes off into the air with a push

Oh! The intense power

I feel her hooves hit the ground

She bounds off to the second jump

 

 

One, two, one, two, land!

 

 

My eyes look straight up over the last jump

Six strides I think but, we can make it in four

I hear her hooves pound hard as she takes off again

Her strength never ceases to amaze me

 

 

One, two, one, two, land!

 

 

I feel like the clock of time has stopped

My soul feels high and free

I never want to come back down

I never want this feeling to leave me

 

 

One, two, one, two, land!

 

 

She gracfeully comes back down to earth

Her ears pricked up happily

I sit back as I let her do the work

We know what we've acomplished

 

One, two, one, two, land!

I don't see any grammar mistakes, but then again, poems are allowed to bend the rules of grammar, so I couldn't really say. I really like this poem. It is so clear and vivid. I ride horses myself, so I can definitely say you're perfectly accurate with your vivid descriptions.
