There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around That the colt from old Regret had got away,
And had joined the wild bush horses — he was worth a thousand pound, So all the cracks had gathered to the fray.
All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far Had mustered at the homestead overnight,
For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are, And the stockhorse snuffs the battle with delight.

Additional quotes by Andrew Barton Paterson

He hails from Snowy River, up by Kosciusko's side, Where the hills are twice as steep, and twice as rough;
Where the horse's hoofs strike firelight from the flintstones every stride, The man that holds his own is good enough.
And the Snowy River riders on the mountains make their home, Where the river runs those giant hills between;
I have seen full many horsemen since I first commenced to roam, But nowhere yet such horsemen have I seen.
