The Clydesdale Horse

Thudding hoof and flowing hair,

Style and action sweet and fair,

Bone and sinew well-defined,

Movement close, both fore and hind.

Noble eye, and handsome head,

Bold, intelligent, well-bred;

Lovely neck, and shoulder laid,

See how shapely he is made.

Muscle strong, and frame well-knit,

Strength personified and fit;

 Thus, the Clydesdale—see him go

To the field, the stud, the show!

Proper back, and ribs well-sprung,

Sound of limb, and sound of lung;

Powerful loin, and quarter wide,

Grace and majesty allied.

Basic power-- living force—

Equine King—the Clydesdale Horse!
