Um, what was, was it a goal of years? Um, or when did you kind of get the vibe that maybe Laura wasn't going and you'd have a chance and you had to stay ahead of Brock off or Brockwood Belgians there? What, um, what's the strategy you had coming down the stretch or, or didn't it change too much?

It's always been a thing that if we made it, we'd love to go.

It'd be a dream goal that if we can make it there, that we'd love it, but we also don't want to kill our mares.

It's a little bit different for us.

We don't get to show all winter.

Most of our mares, we try to get in full.

It is a little bit harder for us.

Like you say, Kyle, just focus on what you can control, and I think last year we got in there to the finals, and we were ready to go, and we thought everything was good, and we had a had a few little problems with some horses and kind of had to change where we were at what we were doing and uh still found some success in that and we were happy with that but yeah it's one of those things going into it you you uh you got your six eight horses that you're you know you can count on and you we've done our practice all year long and yeah it's just stick with what you know and uh go about it with confidence and that's that's the way we're going to approach it and We're just excited to get in there and get the chance.
