It was kind of a blur. I was terrified. I'd always been a behind-the-scenes type of person. I never wanted to be Tommy Trojan.

We rode after all four. I was fine. I would say it was probably a little bit tougher on the animal. It was a warm day. They need to catch their breath before they run out again.

We still have it. I saw it a couple days ago in the garage when I was home for Christmas. It's kind of like being in a tortoise shell. For standing in it, it's OK. Sitting in the saddle, it just didn't fit.
