Q: Tell us about your horse.
Travis: I just got him last year at the Congress, and he’s done three shows. He’s just really easy to show. He’s just a great horse, and I have to thank Randy Jacobs. I couldn’t have done it without him.
Q: Did you have any special challenges getting here?
Travis: I had to work on my showing because I didn’t show halter last year. I took a break, so I had to get back in the program.
Q: What was the hardest thing to relearn?
Travis: Just getting their ears up, because you have to have so many different things, like a lighter and candy.
Q: How many things do you have in your pockiet right now?
Travis: Just two.
