 I'm with Jill Roth, the winner of the $25,000 Novice Non-Pro in the 2016 NCHA World Finals. Now Jill Road, be a pure cat. Congratulations to you Jill. Thank you very much. Now this was a tight race. You were trailing by $56, is that right? When you were coming into the $58, coming into the final. What was your strategy here? Just get through it. I just figured try and get it checked both times and we'll see how it works because either way it was going to be champion or reserve and I'd be happy with either one. Okay, tell us about how the year went. It was YouTube pretty much leading it the whole way. It sounds like you were breathing down Sherry's neck for most of it. Well, I really didn't decide till about June to go into the $25 Novice Non-Pro. I was trying for the Non-Pro and then my horse got hurt, strained his back a little, so I had to scratch out of a few shows and you miss any in the Non-Pro and you're done. I just wanted to make top 15 so I checked to see what it would take in the 25, which he was still eligible for and it didn't take a lot. And I just went and showed. My trainer Morgan Kroemer said, you got to go, just keep riding. So I went and hooked up with Tom Diaz and his wagon train and we just went to every show and my horse just kind of clicked and we just started getting checks and winning and there we were. You gained, you made up a bit of room just in the last two weeks before the finals. Tell us about that. Well, we only, you know, I didn't go anywhere but Pacific Coast shows. I never left the West Coast. So I just had to hit what we had, which was like Arizona, Arizona shows, and then there was one in Bakersfield and I knew that my husband was pushing me to go to Batesville and I said, I do not want to go to Batesville. It's just too far. So we said, let's just take our chance and see what happened. So we just went to any show that was available and it was about two in the month, you know, and four to eight days in the last month and we just hit him and my horse just won everything. He was such a good boy. And take us through both go rounds in the actual world finals. Well, the first day I drew up third and we, we had all our cows picked and believe it or not, all of them were cut before I showed my in the third person. So I just went in and I just know if I can drive up, that horse will take care of the rest. And I had a little boggle on my first cow in the first run, which I think they kind of crucified me for a bit. Otherwise, he was just right on and I marked a 218, which I was still thrilled about. Now this is your second world title. Tell us about your first. First, I actually did travel a lot for I won the 50,000 amateur in 2013. And we went all the way from California to Alabama, Mississippi and back to California. But this one, I didn't have to win as much the 50 AM. Again, it was a close race. It was 110 dollars. I was 110 dollars ahead going into the world finals. Again, I like to keep it everybody on their toes about this. So just managed to pull it off again in that one. Same thing, won the world, won the world finals. And I'm just thrilled to be able to do it again. How does it feel to have your second world title now? I'm so excited about it, but I really think I'm going to take a break. Really think I'm going to take a break. So but I'm really happy how it turned out. My horse did just, I just love him. I just love him. He's just honest and big hearted and loves me. He's just a cool dude. So it's interesting that you can win a world title without having to do all the hauling that you have done previously. So some people who might be put off by the thought of, you know, a whole year to devote to being on the road. Maybe if they're smart about it and the way they plan it and they're successful on the shows they do go to, they can perhaps reduce that time on the road, do you think? I know. I was very surprised because it doesn't even feel like I hauled. Like I say, because we never drove more than 12 hours to get to a show, which was Arizona. I did go to Colorado, but that was more for fun, but I just happened to do well there as well. But yeah, surprisingly in that novice non-pro class, like I said, I just wanted to make top 15. But my horse just kept going and doing well and managed to get a little higher than 15. So yeah, I mean, it depends on the class. The non-pro know you have to go. And that would be my next goal, but I'm not going to try for it next year. I swear. I swear. I say that every year. I'm never going to do this again, but I swear I'm not next year. But it sounds like it might be there down the track.
