Pretty surreal to get to school this leggy giant in The Rolex today. It was so much for him to take in but in the end we got through it and had a decent practice. Regardless of what our scores are tomorrow I’m so proud of this guy for everything he’s done to get us here. I’ve gotten multiple compliments on how handsome he looks and how well behaved he is for only being a 3 year old. He tries his heart out in spite of his age, our inexperience, and my shortcomings. I appreciate the challenges he gives me and hope that I can do right by him by being half as good of a partner as he is to me.
