Tell us about your go-arounds here. Oh the first day I Had a 219 and a half for second and it went well. I was nervous because I'm always nervous but Mike and The helpers which was less baits Monty Bunton and Todd Adolf were great. They all kind of they know I'm a nervous person. So they all try and Reassure me, you know and talk me You know just relax just relax It's not gonna be and the cattle they told me to pick it just sort of flowed out and went well because I was draw 13 and I Thought I should worry about that my husband said no no don't worry about that You know and and I mean I you don't what's the point of worrying because you're not going to change the draw You know and it worked out fine So you've obviously learned to deal with those nerves because you were here last year and you said you were second You ended up third and now you've taken out a world title Well, what is your secret to being able to handle those nerves if you're prone to them? I'm not sure probably a lot of prayer No, really. I just like I just have to before I start I have to You know kind of get myself in that zone and think this is where I need to be and and it works You know, yeah, and they all joke and I have good drugs, but Sometimes I'll you have an anxiety drug if I get really, you know twitchy, but yeah, yeah, but that isn't Always necessary, you know. Yeah Seed is a Hoy mate I take it this horse hasn't been to see what's the go with its name, you know He's a smart mate and he was the breeder was from California Mark Nelson his name and I didn't buy him from him I bought him in Alberta Well, the story has become legendary kind of up from on horse trader online I found him online and he was at the end of his seven-year-old year and he'd won a lot of money and He was there and I said to my husband we need to go look at him and we did and I Just loved him. I couldn't stop smiling. So We went home and thought about it. We got to buy him and he was a will bargain. I mean it was yeah, he was He was a wonderful horse yet, and he's he's really The secret to why I'm having the success. I am he's he is amazing. Yeah, good. Good find So how long have you been with Michael word your trainer? This would be the third year. Yeah, I think now almost three years He's had an astonishing amount of success with his non-pros and amateurs here at the World Finals What's what does he really when he coaches you? What does he really? Try and get through to help you with your showing. I think he Figures every person out and so he knows What to work on with each person individually? So we're not all just you know on like He knows what my horse is like. He doesn't need a lot of work, and he doesn't overtrain him He just you know keeps him maintained and for me it he'd work me on the flag a lot because I Needed to relax, you know, and that's what he's worked on and it's helped a huge amount Yeah, how much have you been home to Canada this past year? This wasn't a big hauling year. I was home all summer in Canada showing yeah Because I show there in the summer from April till September the stampede. No, I didn't go there I haven't done that. Everyone keeps telling me to but yeah, it's a separate thing. You know, it's not so I haven't gone there Yeah, but what are your plans for next year? I think I'll be showing in Arizona in the spirit like January again and chief will stay here Until well obviously till Alberta starts maybe or I've sort of interested in the they do a loop through Colorado and New Mexico in the summer here, and it looks like fun and see some new country, you know To travel, you know and see all these people and meet You know seeing that in the past year you've done a lot of showing in both countries. How do they differ or how are they similar? There's not a lot of difference really. Yeah, and I think The shows there are usually just today where some of these here are some of them are four day Which is nicer rather than just a short two day because for me where I live it almost every show I went to was a six-hour drive Thank you very much for joining it. Oh, yeah. Well, thank you. It's been fun. I can't believe how much fun
