hi, nice piece of poetry. I liked the rich vocabulary and good English command. Very attractive image and presentation. Gifted in writing prompt, meaningful words and knowledgeable about cowboy life. I highly recommend your work to others.

This was amazing! Excellent Job of capturing all the famous western stars and their horses. You truly understood the genre and really told an excellent tale involving their mounts and even good ole Mister Ed. Thanks for sharing!

Somebody is watching too much tv for way to long:-) I know because I watched all those shows:) I might have considered the last two a reach if you hadn't followed it by the riding into sunset stanza. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Good Luck

You've written an interesting and fun poem on the horses of the old west.
Many liked the horses more than the riders. lol
Excellent rhyming and meter.
Too bad Nelly Bell was a jeep, and not a horse.
Well done
Good luck in the contest
Robert

Classic as a poem it is humorous and delightful with a full breeze of rhyming western culture. It delivers well and has a voice clear and concise. It does not repeat nor detract from its main aim or goal which is to entertain.

Well, Wilbur....you can use Mr. Ed if you want to. I have no objection. I think the contest is a good one. It is original and manages to stir the pot just a bit for a change. We sorely need change in the contests in case you didn't notice. Bless you, Writer. Good Luck, Bob

This work has reached the exceptional level

Very good - yes, rhyme might be stretched (I'm that way as well - struggle with rhyme) but how on earth did you get all those horse's names. Well done. And Cute. the horse was important in those old westerns. To have a good horse was so important. You didnt' trade around.
