How are you feeling going into here this last year?

Yeah, I'm pretty excited.

I'm a little nervous, too, being my first time making it to the finals, but I'm driving a gelding that I drove for the past year and a half, and we work pretty good as a team, so excited to see what we can do.

Kind of talk to us a little bit about that, like showing the halflingers and getting on to the Belgian side of things with Scott and Don.

Yeah, I grew up with the Halflingers, and then Evan decided to stop.

And then about four and a half years ago, I got an opportunity to work for Dawn, and that was probably the best thing that happened to me so far.

That was a pretty cool experience.

Too bad Evan didn't keep going too much longer.
