 So we're here with the 2016 Junior Youth World Champion Lexi Slaughter. Lexi, who do you want to thank for this world title? Definitely my parents and all my helpers that have helped me all year and David and Charity Stone for letting me show their awesome mayor. So what horse did you show all year? I went back and forth between two mayors, Freculino Pep and Blues Honky Cat. So do you know how many shows you've been this year? At least 70. Wow, that's a lot of hauling. So are you homeschooled? No, I go to public school. So how was that during this hauling year? You hauled all through the weekends and then on Sunday you had to drive all the way home to go back to school? Yeah, I did a lot of my homework in the truck. My mom told me if that's not done, I'll get to show. That's that's always fun. So coming into the World Finals, you were already winning the world. No one could catch you. How was your World Finals? Did that make you feel good? Just go show your horse or how that made you feel? It made me feel a lot more relaxed. Made me feel like I could just go in there and show and not have to worry about anything. So what horse did you show at the World Finals this year? I showed Freculino Pep and eight-year-old mayor that my dad trained. So on that mayor at Houston Texas, you marked a 228 on that mayor. Is that the highest where you ever marked? Yes. Did you plan on hauling at the first of the year? Were you planning on doing the world? I was gonna go the first couple weekends and see what happened. After the first weekend, the horse that I owned got hurt. So then I kind of had to cancel my plans, but then I had some very awesome people that said, you know what? Just take my marin hauler. So that's amazing. So when did you start feeling comfortable when you started winning? How many points did it go back and forth between the year? At the beginning it kind of went back and forth. Actually Ryan Rapp was in first the first couple weekends. And then we kind of caught up to him. And then I guess midway through the year, I was 40 points ahead. And that's when I started to get real comfortable. That's amazing. So Lexi, how old are you? 14. So what are you planning on doing and cutting when you get older? Um, I don't know yet, but I know I want to continue showing. Cool. Uh, so have you made the top 15 before? Yes. This will be my fifth year. I've been in the top 15 since the first time they had the World Finals. So have you ever hauled to win it? Or have you just hauled to make the top 15? I've just hauled to make the top 15. What has been your favorite show this year? Definitely Houston on my mark 228. So you won a world title. Did you do this all on one horse? No. Who did you ride this year? Um, I mainly showed Freckling a Pep and Blues Honky Cat, but I showed a little bit Electric Junebug and playing Metallica. So tell us why you needed all five horses to win a world? Um, when I went out of state or so, my horses got really sore being on the road. And so some of the trainers like Matt Budge let me borrow their horses to show. So did your dad train the other four horses you showed? He trained Freckling a Pep and he finished Blues Honky Cat and Electric Junebug wasn't training with him. Thank you for joining us, Lexing. Congratulations on winning a world title. Thank you.
