I thought I'd lost this old poem, but I recently found it!
To The Mountain Horse................By John Madson
His sire was Spain;
His dam, the Nez-Perce.
Legs forged on granite anvils;
Heart forged by mountains.
Kin to the bighorn
With clever hoof and infinite eye.
Drinker of the wind, the dawn singer,
Kin to the elk.
Enduring, gaunt, rock worn,
Lacking titled rank or registry,
His labors win the noble heights
And the consort of eagles.
