For gaining a shoe the horse was available.
For having a horse the rider was on stage.
For involvement of the rider the battle was won.
For winning the battle the kingdom was gained.
And all because of the horseshoe nail.
Succinct!

You're quick of the blocks. I'm still scratching my head. I've had a couple of stabs but nothing poetic is coming out of me. Perhaps I need to sleep on it.
Well done you - this reminds me of the house that Jack built.
Mathmatically known as the butterfly effect.
The truth that initial conditions/variables small or not can have a profound or even determining effect.
It in part explains the nature of our universe.
Interesting.
