"I was happy to have Max here, he did a pretty decent job both days. Fuzzy is back to competition, both with the qualifier and making it here to USAs. Keeping him healthy has been a positive. Zach had a pretty good horse set the other day and a good p-bars set today. We just know there are more things to build, so we'll get back to the gym and start working."
