Every single time I come out of the dressage ring at a show my dad looks up at me from the ground and says, “Looked good to me.”
It’s funny (and he knows it – he’s full of those patented “Dad jokes”) because he has no idea what dressage is supposed to look like — he’s not a horse person. Yet despite not being a horse person, he’s been to almost every single one of my horse shows I’ve ever competed in, including many that have fallen on Father’s Day. Thanks Dad, for being the best non-horsey horse show dad around. But really, thanks for just being the best Dad.
