~Old Jett~ By Ch'erie Thunder cracks across the ranges of the Snowy River terrain Old Jett once again is on the move fiery eyed, with wind torn mane The lure of the Drovers Mare reaches clear across the sky she nickers in her masters pen doesn't question why! Some years before he knew the life beast of burden ridden hard now free to roam he's come for her this debutante perfumed in nard They'll line him up and take the shot be quick if they value the mare for like a shadow in the mist in a flash she won't be there They took the shot missed by an ear he reared in triumphant leering display claimed his prize with searing eye's now the two are on the stray Years later that mob ran again over the Drovers ranch whip crack shout back as Old Jett crashed through a branch "Take the shot you miserly lot" the foreman hollered loud missed by a mile curly smiled As Old Jett stomped good and proud He galloped off cleared the trough Then reared and retorted back they gawked in awe at what they saw His reward, a two year old young Jett Black Old Jett roamed the land till he was no more his loins left a mark pon the range his Son, is his encore!

Great one Ch'erie...and how fitting that love struck mare would run off head over hooves with the highly spirited black Stallion!Perfectly and magically depicted in yor words. Man from Snowey River is one of my all time favorite flicks!

This brings me back to the days of the West and the wild mustangs and other horses that were the ride into the future of a lot of new countries. You captured the firy spirit of these beautiful animals and told a little of their story. Well done Cherry Pie. It's good to be back.

Good Old Jett. Showed who is the best. Lovely ballad(?) For it should be passed on in song every evening in some lonely bar. Victor

Hooray for Old Jett - may he roam the land for a very long time. And I really liked those Snowy River Down Under 'Westerns.'
