Oh, thank you so much How do you feel having your first major title? I'm gonna tell you I'm still trying to get my head around this This was so awesome so much fun. I've just really enjoyed it red letter day I think I better buy a ticket for the lottery That's right. Could all be happening today for you. I could be this could be my red letter day of all time So how did it feel at the presentation getting getting that buckle? I'm still trying to believe that really happened. I was I came down here I had a tough time getting down here last night And I was just really really exhausted. So this morning. I was thinking I just hope I get a good check in the senior not win It so this was just such a wonderful surprise I knew the mirror was that good. It's just me right? Well, and you won quite convincingly something like four points in between you and second Place awesome. It's so fun. So take us through your run Describe how it was from cat a cow Okay, you're asking a lot because honestly I had to watch the the run on video to remember the cattle I did watch the cattle. I did know which ones they wanted us to run to work I was just worried about cutting clean stopping the cow on each end And not making all the bobbles that I seem to make so it just all came together So who helped you out with your cow choice? Okay, so Cara Brewer trained my horse and she's the most amazing trainer ever She just trains a really wonderful cow horse No bells and whistles. They just are solid smart Smooth horses and then her husband Scott who's always turned back for me Tommy Marvin has always turned back for me Those two know cattle inside and out. They're the best cattlemen ever and then Casey Green. So he's new to my team Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful young man and very very helpful talks. Talk me through the whole run courage me You know gave me, you know step up that type of thing. Do you get nervous? I don't anymore, but I've done this for quite a while. I used to get so nervous My hands and feet my lips would go numb. So now I don't do that anymore. So what's changed just experience You know what it's just fun. I just realized this is this is a fun thing to do. Why do I get so nervous? I wanted to enjoy every moment of this and I did So you took a little pressure off yourself. I did I did I also now do yoga So I did some of my yoga breathing and in thinking clean slate go out there. Just do the best I can yeah, the breathing is actually very effective I don't think people really realize sometimes how much it helps you to focus and Get over some of those nerves tell us about your horse Well, I just bought her I've only had her a couple of months Kara had called me and said Sue I want you to come down and try a couple of four-year-olds I think they would fit you really well and we had just sold our big horse farm And so I hadn't been riding for a while and I was ready for a four-year-old thought that would be really fun Went down to a show got a permit tried the first horse didn't get along with her like I thought I would and she said okay, this is the horse. I really wanted you to try So let's get you that permit It was like magic, you know, she was just fit me. I felt so comfortable on her super smooth super well trained That was it wrote the check and here we are good chemistry. You're gonna keep showing the source Oh, I want to give up my day job and just go haul and show her so so you might be hitting the road next year No, I'm just kidding. I'm a dentist. I've got to keep my practice going, but this was so fun I'm looking forward Every time I get to get honor is gonna be so much fun and such an honor to be able to ride a mirror like this Congratulations again.
