 Hey everyone, I'm here with the winner of the 2016 Mercuria World Finals 2000 Limiter Ryder Division and that's Dalton Vicka, he rode Cat in White Nikes. Interesting name there, you'll have to tell us that story. Congratulations to you Dalton. Thank you very, very much. How did it feel to win this title? Incredible, it was fun. I think the journey getting there was the best part of it. It was my first year hauling and the cutting so for it to end this way was a really good feeling and gave me a lot of confidence to kind of go out and do what I want to do next. So how long have you been cutting? I'd say two years solid. This year would be the first year that I really hauled and showed a cutting horse. I'm more from the reigning side. And you, we were talking earlier and you were saying you started reigning back in Hawaii where you grew up. Tell us about the horse scene there. It's a very low scale. There's not a lot going on so I pretty much rode every horse that's there on the island. So by the time I was 17 I was ready to kind of branch out and do my own thing and that's what I did. So I moved to California and started riding reigning horses and that's kind of where it started and took off and I'm here now so. And what picked your interest to go cutting? I kind of did the cow horse at the beginning and I've always been around cattle. I grew up on a ranch so it just kind of worked out and I've always really liked it and I had the opportunity to go and work for Mike and start some two-year-olds and that's kind of how it started and the following year I got the chance to haul and it all worked out so I didn't stop you know and I'm not going to stop now and it's definitely something I have a passion for and that's trainer Mike Wood who's based in Arizona. He has some fantastic success with his group of amateurs and non-pros and professionals like yourself even if that's what your plan on becoming. Yep that's my plan and he definitely helped coach me along the way and was one of the best teachers out there I must say so I owe a lot to him and I'm very grateful to him and Dr. Doros who actually owns the horse he let me show her all year she's the only horse I showed all year in that and it all worked out. So this horse Cat in White Nikes I assume has some white socks tell us a little bit about your horse and the name. Well she's definitely a quick little thing she's a highbrow cat and she's quick yeah I mean she's really nice and she definitely looks like she's got some white Nikes on and she's a good horse I really like her actually a lot so she was good to me. What are the plans now? Now I plan to kind of go out and do a lot more of the aged event things I'm gonna be coming here to Wetherford so I will be trying to do my thing here and see where it goes from there and kind of take it slowly but I'm really really interested in the young horses and it's kind of my thing I like the two-year-olds and that type of deal so congratulations best of luck with that. Thank you very much.
