‘The Clydesdale Horse’

Thudding hoof & flowing hair,
style & action sweet & fair.
Bone & sinew well defined,
movement close both for & hind.
Noble eye & handsome head,
bold, intelligent, well-bred,
lovely neck & shoulder laid,
see how shapely he is made.
Muscle strong & frame well knit,
strength personified & fit.
Thus the Clydesdale – see him go,
to the field, the stud, the show.
Proper back & ribs well sprung,
sound of limb & sound of lung.
Powerful loin & quarter wide,
grace & majesty allied.
Basic power – living force,
Equine King – The Clydesdale Horse.
