O come all ye horse-poor
Broke and without money
O come ye, o come ye and look at your bills.
Come, let us count them, figure up the total:
O here is your board bill
And here is your farrier
And here is your vet bill,
The greatest of all!

Oh no, why does your horse
Need so many X-rays,
Injections, bloodwork and pricey drugs?
Not to mention all those fancy supplements!
Your horse is so expensive.
Goodbye to your paycheck!
You might as well feed him
All your money.

Let’s just imagine
How much extra money
You’d have in your pocket if it weren’t for the horse?
Yes, though you’d be bored, you’d be very wealthy,
With no more board bill
No more farrier
And no more vet bills
Stacked up so high!
Happy holidays and go riding!
