 of the winner of the $5,000 Novice Non-Pro at the 2016 NCAA World Finals. That's Erin Bemat and she rode CT Desirable. Congratulations to you Erin. Very much. Thank you. How did you feel when you won your first world championship? It feels awesome. My first go was really, really good and I felt like I still did deal with that. Second go wasn't as good but I drew last and so it was like a harder go. But I, marking a 222 in the first go was very good. It was fun and like I said, it sealed the deal so that was that's all we needed to do. Okay, you came in with a pretty good lead. So were you comfortable or what was your plan? Well, I knew that there was a possibility that somebody could catch me. The second horse or the second place horse could have caught me if he won both go rounds. So I did know that in my mind and I knew that like I said, getting one out of the way, just getting the money won, sealed the deal and so that was very good. So first year you hold as well is it? Is it the first year you hold for a world title? Yes. How did you find that? How's life on the road? Well, I honestly didn't get this horse until later in the year. Dana Esavito and Alan Oglesy, actually we're showing this horse and he was having a little bit of colic issues and stuff and I actually got to buy a chance. I took a chance to buy him. He's been good and so like they did most of the work at the beginning of the year. I didn't get him till later in the year. So I don't, as far as like just straight on hauling all year, I didn't have to do that but I got him and I just had to finish out the year. So how did you do on your other horse in the first half of the year? Well, the first half of the year I actually was showing just in the non-pro. I had a mare I was showing and we were doing good, good, good, good and just not making it in the top 15. And what we were planning on is next year we're going to get some babies out of her. So we were looking for a horse for me for the non-pro for next year and this horse came along. He was winning the world. Like I said, we took a chance because he had some issues going on. Obviously a chemistry that worked. Yes. And my husband, Todd Bemat, rode him as a four-year-old. So we knew him. Like we knew what horse he was. We knew that he's a cribber. Yeah, I mean, you know, he had some issues. So because my husband Todd Bemat knew him, we knew that what we were getting into. Now, speaking of your husband Todd, he's also won a world championship. You've equalled him. Is it, is it, you know, he's teaching you or, you know, is there any arguments or is it a very cordial affair when you're both training and working your horses? For me, he's like the number one person. Like I just get lucky to get to do what I do. He always like, I mean, everything he does is like awesome. So for me, I literally, I just get lucky to do what I do. So yeah, there's no like, he's supportive. He is like, maybe go do it. And I just, I try to do it. I do get frustrated and I get a little arry sometimes because like he'll be like, why don't you ride like he did yesterday? And I'm like, because I can't. Like I'm a non pro. I'm not a trainer. And so when that comes about, yeah, so we get a little bit arguments like he maybe wants me to be better than I feel like I can be. But for the most part, like he's my number one person and I just try to do the best I can do. Well, I'm sure he's very proud of you with this world championship. Are you going to hit the right again on the whole next year? We're going to start the year out that way. And then we'll see what brings it, you know, what comes about. We have a lot of good four-year-olds. So I think we'll start, you know, with the weekend stuff. And then if these four-year-olds come along, well, they're three now, but they'll be four. If they come along good and he wants to do the age event, that'll kind of be what happens. So that's the luck with it. Thank you. Thank you very much.
