Where in this world can man
find nobility without pride,
friendship without envy or beauty
without vanity ?
Here, where grace is laced with muscle,
And strength by gentleness confined.
He serves without servility,
He has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful,
Nothing less violent,
There is nothing so quick,
Nothing more patient.
England's past has been borne on his back.
All our history is his history,
We are his heirs, he our inheritance.
Written by Ronald Duncan, specially for The Horse of the Year Show in 1950.
