 Welcome to the 2017 NCHA World Finals. I'm with the winner of the 25,000 novice Open World Champion, Casey Crouch. He rode Lewis the Cat. Congratulations to you, Casey. Thank you. It's been a wonderful year, Lewis. He's a very unique horse. Go ahead. I'm sorry. We've already spoken to Tyler. He won the non-pro. This is a horse that's done, obviously, a lot of miles and a lot of shows. Tell us about this horse. How on earth has he managed to do this? He's, you know, he's just so laid-back, so easy going. I mean, it's, I mean, he's stayed sound. I mean, he's been to the herd 300 times this year since January. And just real easy going, laid-back. I mean, he's like a gilder. Now, probably out of those, all of those runs, maybe three times, what did I even think when I walked out that he's a stud, you know, that, I mean, that a stud, you know, the stud come into play. And he's, he just tries and, I mean, he doesn't take a lot to get ready, you know, so he don't, you don't wear his wheels out there. And he loves his job. I mean, he just, he just loves his job. Been great. So what's it been like to train on and what is, what are the characteristics that you like about him to show on? You know, he'll let you do about whatever you want to. You know, I mean, if you want to step him up to a cow quick, he's good with that. If you want to lay back and be easy and cut a cow smooth and clean, he's good with that too. And, you know, his whole disposition is, it's, it's just, it's crazy. I mean, he really is. He's quite, quite as a mouse. I mean, most horses like him, every one of them I've ever had that have been unique, had something. I mean, had something about them that you just had to be careful with, you know, and, and I haven't found it. It's, it's not there. I mean, you can put him anywhere on the trailer. I mean, I don't put a mare by him, but, but I don't know that it would bother him either, you know. So, so he's just, he's just real cool and laid back and, you know, whatever. I mean, he's just happy, go lucky. And, you know, matter of fact, it's a big joke with Tyler and I, you know, he'll bring him to me and I'll go to show him and, you know, is he gonna turn around today? You know, just kind of a joke because he just don't have me. I mean, he's just like, I don't know. Just happy, go lucky, you know. Okay, now you came into the world finals $30,000 ahead of the next competitor. How did that feel to have a little wiggle room there? Oh, it was, it was cool. You know, the last time I won the world in the five novice with Dusty, Dusty Nelson, and he and I were showing back and forth and we came in $800 apart. And it, I mean, it was he got a check. I got a check. I mean, it just went back and forth. So, you know, this time to come in that far ahead and not have to worry about it. No pressure just go show. You know, I didn't have a great finals here. First day, my last cal, first two cals were okay. You know, my last cal kind of took me out of it, run up the pin. But second day in the go around, I was, I was real happy. I marked the 19 and, and, and I was tickled. I had a good run. He finished strong. Just cool. Okay, now this is your second world championship, but you're, you're a constant feature really at the world finals. Your name is always there. What does this one, this championship mean to you? Um, you know, it's, it's surreal to some degree. You know, it's, it's almost, it's kind of like, you know, kind of like I tell my customers, I mean, you know, start, start in the class you're eligible for and go up. So for me, it's kind of, it's kind of neat that I won the five and then I won the 25. So, you know, maybe, maybe the future holds open. You know, who knows? Well, and you also have a lot of clients that do very well at the world finals too. So that speaks volume for you as a trainer and a teacher. Yes, thank you. That's, that's the biggest deal. You know, as long as my, my customers and clients are getting along and winning, that's what counts. You know, as long as they have fun and enjoy their self, you know, that's, that's the main thing. I try to make, make sure that they have a good time.
