Jaguar's Class

My best friend, Spike is one of the older Horses inside the Stable
Who sometimes requires some extra time and effort as best as I am able
Being a comforting heating blanket to a spot behind his forelegs and mane
Due to poorly cinched, loose Saddles that can slip and cause annoying pain
It's something I started doing when I was a precocious ball of weightless fluff
And soon discovered that hanging on when Spike wants to roam can get a little rough
Not that Spike seemed to care at all as I found a safe and comfy place
Trying my best to become glued to it as Spike would begin to pace
With shifts in weight from sudden moves, I slowly learned it all from scratch
Which helps prove to the youngsters that Spike and I are a nearly flawless match

We are the latest addition to the Stable Kitten Crew
And we have an excellent instructor named Jaguar to show us what to do
Along with when to do it to keep our Horses calm and in the proper mood
Especially when it comes to entertaining them when it's close to their time for food
Or being an agile distraction when heavy Saddles and shiny tack are carefully laid out
Which may cause the Horses to become anxious and suddenly rear and shout
That makes us all a little cautious as we silently select our charge
Since compared to us, all of the Horses seem very stout and immensely large
Though it will take some time to earn our Horse's friendship and confidence
We'll follow Jaguar's lead and learn to do it all while standing on a fence
