"Tradition, they say, can teach us a lot,
So here is what horsemen, on color, have thought.
A bay is hardy, a chestnut is fast
And you can't kill a buckskin: he'll last and last.
A grey is gentle, a sorrell is hot,
A dun is a horse you'll be happy you bought.
White eyes are flighty, white feet may crack
While some won't rely on the feet of a black.
Some pintos are lucky, like the medicine hat,
But all horsemen agree the best color is FAT.
