Lyrics

Quarter Horse Pro 
Lyrics and music by Peter Boyer - SOCAN
Verse 1 
Trainin’ horses ain’t for everyone
It’s up at dawn just to get ‘er done
Some go good, and some just won’t
Some days pay and some days don’t

Verse 2
Buckskins, sorrels, duns and bays
Get green broke in 30 days
What they learn’ll be lifelong 
It’s funny that the future starts so small

Verse 3
Now that big duelly’s makin time,
They clear customs and the diesel whine
Ridin’ out the highs and lows 
When you’re a pro that’s how it goes

Bridge:
From county fairs to the long haul
To Oklahoma, in the Fall 
Dreamin’ big of the final go,
With a 2 year old 
And a quarter horse pro

Chorus;
There’s horses to ride and horses to show,
It’s what he loves and what he knows
Champions are made not born
And he’s made a few, he’s a quarter horse pro
