A horse called Billy ?

A lovely lass up our road
Her name is Grace Reed
She owns a horse called Billy
My grandaughters are thrilled indeed

Grace is letting them ride Billy
They’ve been taking turns each day
Lauren & Emily are getting used to him
They are doing great I have to say

I am watching out of my window
It is Lauren’s turn to go
Her & Billy are fast trotting
Looking like a dressage show

All the girls wanted for Christmas
Was their very own horse
But Mam decided they wern’t ready for that
She was being realistic of course

Whilst they go to a riding school
They both enjoy it you will find
Theres more to just riding horses
Mucking out comes to mind

Early mornings in all weathers
Owning a horse is dedication
What do you do with your animal
When you are on a vacation

Not mentioning the money
Feeding daily, buying hay
Vets bills are humongous
For the wealthy they do say

However, this arrangement 
Is a great alternative I say
Much better than them owning one
Helping Grace out in a way

The girls can give him their time
Get him back looking good
He didn’t have a rider 
So was lacking exercise, eating food

Grace has made the girls very happy
They both have smiley faces
Riding Billy around the field
Putting him in his paces

So thank you loads Grace Reed
For your time you are so kind
Letting the girls tend your Billy
Don’t let them wear you out mind
