Some nice moments. At times really doesn’t look his age.

Wow, again. Look at that extra written comment. That was the near-highlight of my weekend. Doesn't really look his age. Nice! I serve my horse well - I don't interfere, and while we're not a "9 & 10" pair, we're snagging 6s, 7s, and even some 8s. What a deal! From remarking early in the day he was lame and stiff, to a closing remark like that.
