You were first cherished by the great Nez Perce,
Fleet of foot, you followed alongside the mighty buffalo,
Loyal and fearless, you carried brave warriors into battle,
Noble and kind, you allowed the children to play at your feet.
Across the plains to the mountains, marched your sturdy legs,
Racing down the flat meadow, your stamina unmatched,
Stoically standing among the trees, spots providing camouflage from enemies,
Your wise human-like eyes saw all, and understood.
Your world is changing, but you adapt to your new life,
Traits carefully bred for by your people are now prized by all,
Instead of chasing buffalo, you swiftly herd cattle into pens,
Your intelligence and courage now needed in the battle of competition.
Once racing across a prairie, now your striped hooves pound on the track,
With strength you soar gracefully over jump after jump,
Your colorful coat, once selected for protection, now a flashy decoration,
Gently you lower your head for a child to stroke your speckled muzzle.
You are the true American treasure: The APPALOOSA
