Yukon Clydesdales Poem by Marilyn Lott

Yukon Clydesdales

Rating: 4.8


They can put on quite an exciting show
These amazing Clydesdales of Yukon
I’ve never seen anything like them
So beautiful, charming and strong

Did I tell you that I got to visit
This very barn one summer day?
I was thrilled to pat their heads
And feed them a small flake of hay

They are brushed, loved and pampered
And treated like fine royalty
But still they’re happy to see you
Nuzzling your hand so quizzically

You will see a horse shoe on the wall
That belongs to a regular horse
And right beside it is an enormous one
That will fit a Clydesdale, of course

I hope you too will someday be able
While traveling along Oklahoma trails
Visit the big red barn that houses
The beautiful Yukon Clydesdales!

Yes indeed, Marilyn, these gentle giants with their furry feet have won the hearts of grownups and children alike over hundreds of years. Sadly we see them so rarely these days. Thanks for this wonderful poem in remembrance of these dignified, hard working creatures. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
