 There's been plenty of cheering at the arena at the 2015 NCAA Great American Insurance Summer Spectacular and the reason for that is the junior youth scholarship final. I've got the winner here, Ryan Rapp, who rode Spooky's Time to Shine and got an awesome score of 229. Well done, Ryan. Thank you. How did it feel when you finished that run and you saw that score up there on the board? Honestly, when I was walking out I couldn't see the score. The judges stand, everybody cheered and I couldn't see it. The judges stand was blocking it so I ended up peeking my head out and looking over and I couldn't believe it when I saw it was up there. You must have heard the cheering, though. Oh, yeah. My horse definitely heard it, too. I could feel it, like step it up a level when everybody really got to cheering. He loves that. So how did the run feel? Take it through it. It felt... You know, I wish I had cut my first cali a little better. It wasn't the best cut, but I mean it wasn't like I had a bunch of traffic out there, but I got her cut and she was good there and she got to push in on me pretty, and we had to push her off and then we finally got a spot to quit. And then I went back and cut my second cali and she was good there, but she never gave me a spot to quit and she got to push in on me really good. I mean, the first two cali were pretty tough there at the end and then she, Lindy and my dad and all of them got, my dad and Pete got her off and then I went and chipped that last cali just ran out there and I got her pretty cleanly, tried it up there and threw my hand down. Boy, she was a good cali for them. We didn't know what she was going to do. We just cut a chip and she was a real good cali and that's what made the run. I knew it was going to be something big after that. So do you like to watch the cows? Do you really like to study and get, get, you know, schooled on that? It's always, it's always a good learning deal because I mean, you're going to, if you were wanting to do this for a lot longer, you need to know how to do that. And my mom and my dad are really great in that. My mom, I mean they, and I think about God down where they don't have to explain everything to me, but there's still a lot to learn. Okay, now most teenagers don't like to listen to their parents. You just happened to have two of the probably most well-known people in the sport of cutting, Marianne and Phil Rapp. Obviously you're listening to them in the arena at home. It's hard not to, especially it's hard not to. You can hear in that little arena, it gets them echoing it. It's really hard not to. So what are some of the things that have really stuck and helped you when you come out and show that you've learned from them? It's just, I mean, just cutting and not being too aggressive, but not being too passive either. And just the, it really cutting is like a big thing that I learned. And then when to use the cow side leg when you need to and when to hold them up. And I mean, that was, that was a big part too. So this is a scholarship fund that you've just won money towards. Is college on the cards or is training horses on the cards or both? I have no option on the college. I have to go to college. That I asked, they said, you're going to college. You have no option there. So I said, okay, so I'm going to college. And I don't think I'll be a trainer. Well, I'm going to college, but I don't, I don't know what the future will hold. But, you know, God's got it all in his hands. Cards laid out. And one of the things we haven't talked about yet is the horse. Spooky's time to shine. So tell us about this horse. You've actually had a relationship with this horse for a little while now. Yes, ma'am. We got, we got him. We bought him in January. I think it was a turdy sale. It was. And she, and he was, my mom showed him as a stallion and we bought him as a stallion. And we castrated him. He just, you know, we didn't really need his stuff. My mom didn't want one. She's pretty quick with the knife, if you know what I mean. But so we castrated him. I looked him before he was stunned after his, so there's a big difference. And he was mean, but he's a real nice, sweet horse now. And it's just, it's, he's a lot better to get along with after his. So obviously you're going to be, you're going to keep showing this horse and keep notching up those earnings? Yes, ma'am. I'm going to show him until he tells me he's done. When he's done, he's done. My parents tell me when he's done, I might, when he's done, I might give him over to my sister, Mike, or he's going to live out in the pasture on the two. Well, if college doesn't work out, if training doesn't work out, I think you could definitely have a career as a stand-up comic, for sure. Well, that'd be all right. I hear they get paid pretty good and they work an hour a day. So I might, I'd be all right with that. I get to travel everywhere and look to see a bunch of different sites. I wouldn't stand up community to be all right with me. It'll be interesting to watch you continue the cut and congratulations. Great effort. Thanks, Ryan. Thank you. Thank you very much.
