Horse and Carriage Sleigh Ride

Sleigh bells and thunder snow

You trotted in a snow storm where 

thunder and lightening appeared... 

A horse named Thunder Snow 

who rode in a Kentucky Derby... 

You gave me the ride of a lifetime... 

sashaying around a winter wonderland... 

Bred in Ireland and owned by Royals in Dubai, 

you are destined to be a Winner after all.  

Wishing you all a Currier and Ives Christmas...

As an Equine Scientist and thoroughbred lover, this poem is right on cue for me, Pat.

I am well versed in the exploits of Thunder Snow. He is a fine galloper. Any horse that can win the Dubai World Cup by nearly six panels is a very good athlete. His Kentucky Derby effort was out of character. From my experience it seemed possible that when the horse jumped, the saddle slipped slightly backwards towards the rump. Such an occurrence usually always results in the horse buckjumping. That aside, the only other thing i noticed was that there were shadows of the grandstand towers across the track and quite often flighty types can get spooked by these. Either way, his performances since that day have marked him down as a quality animal. There will be no more Kentucky Derby for him though. The race is restricted to three year olds, and as such, a horse only gets one chance at the glory. Perhaps he will return to defend his World Cup crown in March.

I enjoyed this poem immensely. It touches on one of my prominent areas of expertise and your addition of the Xmas theme to it is very imaginative.

A wonderfully inventive poem. Very different and much appreciated by this Equine aficionado.

You are welcome dear Pat.

dear poets, Thunder Snow put on a Show at the Kentucky Derby 2018,
by being too playful... and not serious about the Race;
but is destined to be a Winner in the future. I have imagined the
thrill it would be if Thunder Snow pulled my Sleigh on Christmas Eve...
