Well, Sarah helped me
fill out an application

for a boarding school in Canada.

It's called Beersheba Springs.

Your Aunt Louise
went to a boarding school.

Yeah, I know, and she always talks about

how great it was.

And this one's really cool

because it's a full-time
equestrian academy.

And it's right by where
my other grandparents live.

We sent the admissions office

a tape from my last barrel race.

It went pretty great.

It's a long sh*t.

The school is highly competitive.

Half of the Canadian
equestrian team trained there.

And most of the students
trained in dressage

and have been
on the youth circuit for years.

Well, Sarah says
I'm good enough to switch.

And it's all about
how I handle my horse.

And they don't just do dressage.

- They do eventing...
- I know, I know, I know.

I just don't want you
to get your hopes up.

Sarah also said
that the admission process

is as tough to get into as Juilliard.

But if I get in, I can go, right?

Honey, Canada is a long, long way away.

- Not really.
- Yeah, really.

I'd never get to see you.
