If you....

go to a horse race here in Maine,
you'll see horses that have achieved fame,
for pulling sulkies or in dressage or rings,
American Standardbred horses do these things.

Slim, sleek and beautiful they strut their stuff,
asking their owners if they've done enough;
they pace and trot, or just plain run,
just so graceful, watching is fun.

And they're off!, The announcer said,
pulling the sulky, trying to get ahead,
they do this work all with great pride,
all the while trying not to break stride.

Raised on farms all across the land,
it all comes together just like it was planned;
horses for racing, the show ring and all,
and when they play, they have a ball.

The horses here are in Newburgh Maine,
North Star Farms, they have a good name;
in this field mother and child,
even temperament, modest and mild.

Do you like this breed? I know you would.
Now go do something considered as good,
like pushing buttons, after choosing a tab,
I knew it, I knew it, there's fun to be had.

Enjoy!
