 Welcome to the 2017 NYCHA Senior Scholarship Cutting. I'm here with Kase Branch and he marked a 2-24 on Little Ray Worldicat. Tell me how was the run? It was good. We're just trying to have a good clean run. I went after Lane Cooper who marked a 2-33 last year so I was a little nervous and then so we tried to just have a good clean run. How did you feel going into the run? Were you confident? Were you scared? Did you get any advice from anyone? I was just happy to be in the finals. Tell me what did you mark in the first go round? 2-21 and a half. Do you have any plans for the money that you won in the scholarship? Do you plan on going to college or what? Yes ma'am, I'm going to a real estate college. So tell me a little bit about your first run. How did that go? It was good. We just tried to have a good first run just to make it into the finals and we got a good clean run and just got three really good casts down the middle and marked a 2-21 and a half and made the finals. So tell me do you watch the cows or do you just pretty much like lope your horse? I just lope my horse most of the time. I just try to act like it's a weekend show, nothing special and my stepdad and my other help pick out my cows. Tell me about your horse. How many times have you shown him? Is he one of your favorites? Yeah, he's probably the favorite horse that I showed so far. I've showed another good mare, but I've only showed him for about a year. I showed him just start, I hauled him for half of the year last year and started to haul him again this year since we got a good start. So I know you have a twin brother. What's it like competing with him? Is it competitive or what's with that? It's pretty competitive, but I usually try to win most of the time. Why? Because I want to beat him. Do you have different approaches to him on cutting or how much dedication it would take? A bunch of, I cheer him on and we're both good about boosting up each other and stuff, but we both like to win and beat each other a lot. At least there's some support system in there. So tell me, who wins more often? I think it's me, but he would say something else. He'd probably say him. So what do you like about Youthook? What's your favorite thing that you've done or you might do this week? I didn't, last year I was here for the whole Youth Week because I made the World Finals last year, but this year I just showed up to show in the first go and the second go, but it was good to hang out with friends and be around here and show and do good. So it's always fun here though. Do you have anyone you'd like to thank or someone who's really helped to help push you to be your best while on the road this year? My stepdad and my mom and my friends and family and all the support, I appreciate it. Why do you like cutting? What's your favorite thing about it? All the fun and the adrenaline rush and how see how good you can be and get and learn new stuff every day. Well, thank you Kase. I appreciate you joining us today and good luck for your rest of the year. Thank you.
