There are horses and freeways
In close proximity
A goat tied to a parked car
Jets flying overhead
An albino chicken near my feet

My son is cleaning a hoof
We've paid for the honor
A helmet in lieu of a hat
Flies nip at my legs
While a dog sleeps in the shade

Pulsating sprinklers
Keep the beat
As a woman sings of farm animals
Drowning out the sound of cars
And the occasional bellow of a goat

The instructor has a swollen liver
Tattooed hands
Weathered skin of leather
A few missing teeth
She knows horses

A rooster crows
At the mid day sun
Baking dust and manure
My son is an urban rider
Blazing a trail beneath the power lines

Well laid imagery

That clearly paints the scene. The line 'Weathered skin of leather' makes me happy. Simple, direct, clear, and shows exactly what you are presenting in the person's face and hands. The feel of the phrase is wonderful as well.
