In Montecito’s golden hue, where California’s oranges bloom,
Stands a rider in harmony with his steed, in perfect groom.

Number 8 adorns his arm,
Where gold colors shine through the sun’s rays,
They act as one, with elegance, poise, and grace.

Black hair flowing, like shadows against the sky,
Number 8 guides his horse with skillful hands,
They move in sync, in a symphony of motion,
An unbreakable bond and seamless devotion.

Through fields of green and pastures wide,
Weaving, they dodge with each stride.

Their hearts beat as one, a rhythm untold,
In pursuit of victory, their partnership unfolds.

With precision and finesse, they execute,
As if guided by a higher hand, resolute,
They pivot, they turn in a way mesmerizing,
Their unison is just amazing.

In Montecito’s landscape, where beauty meets grace,
To the player and his horse, it’s the perfect place.
