A favorite moment for me from the weekend took place during Leadline, which will come as no surprise to anyone. My soon-to-be 5-year-old son, Landon, currently rotates showing at Paint shows between my gelding, Casey, and multiple World and Reserve World Champion, Brokers Lucky Kid, aka “Denver.” Usually led by either of my trainers, Kip Larson or Mike Davis, Denver’s owner/rider, Mackenzie Preston, took the lead.
