There were so many special moments last weekend in Kentucky, it’s nearly impossible to cover them all. If you want some riding inspo, go back and re-watch Leslie Law’s round with Tre’ Book’s Voltaire de Tre’, with whom he finished 10th.
We were so glad to have him back at the top but as his wife, Lesley, so aptly said: “for those that are happy to ‘see him back’ well… he’s always been there. Always one of the best ever. In fact he’s so much better today than all those years ago when he won the gold. His understanding of horses, his patience and compassion for them, his knowledge of the theory … he’s better today than ever.” Go Leslie and Splash!
Also, it’s Badminton week!
