Leslie Law Highlights his Rolex Quest
Well, technically Lesley Grant-Law, Leslie’s multi-talented wife, is writing Leslie’s blog of his preparation for the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event with Beatrice and Guy Rey-Herme’s Fleeceworks Mystere du Val. But what a great read this is – kudos to Lesley and Leslie for juggling their incredibly busy schedules (and carefully juggling their two-month old son Liam!) and sharing this special journey with the eventing community. After Leslie and “Bean’s” incredible season last year, culminating with USEA Horse of the Year honors, they have a fantastic opportunity to showcase their talents at America’s four-star this spring. The Laws are two of the hardest working, friendliest, and talented people in our sport… I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I do!

Lesley: “When Leslie was asked to be a featured rider for Rolex this year he was honoured and of course readily accepted. In readily accepting he was naturally readily volunteering me to do the writing as, for the many great things Leslie does, writing ain’t one of them! I spent many a year in college writing for various professors and publications so I’ve just dusted off my pen and am pleased to chronicle Leslie and ‘Bean’s’ journey to Rolex success.”
(By the way, Lesley’s no slouch in the education department…she holds an honors degree in International Relations and Philosophy and a Masters degree in Human Rights from York University.)
