Wow… Christian. 🤩
The goal was to qualify for the and hopefully experience it… and you turned it into both a step and a leap forward. Second place on the podium! We are beyond proud of you. Truly speechless.
“He’s too young. He doesn’t have the experience. He isn’t ready…”
And yet… here you are. 🇺🇸
Yes, you were given an opportunity but it was your big heart, your talent, your determination to learn, your willingness to study (I’m pretty sure you memorized every word your coach, Adrienne, gave you), your ability to stay steady through challenges, your relentless positivity, your genuine love and care for our Rocky(and for all of our horses) and your all in effort, no matter what surrounds you… that is what got you here.
Those qualities can’t be handed to someone. They come from deep within. And they are what brought you to this moment.
lyle… you always show up for your team and for your horses. No matter what this life demands, you give the very best of yourself. You are an invaluable rider and coach, and we are so grateful to have you riding, leading, and believing in this team. Your influence is written all over this 🧡
And thank you, .lemay… 🙏 Rocky always comes out shining (yes, literally) but also happy and excited for his job. That says everything.
And to Rocky… our angel on earth. We love you to pieces. Thank you for all that you give and all the brilliance you bring into our lives.🥰
Love this sport. Adore this team. And, excited about what comes next! 🤩
