Welcome everybody. We're here at Longford Ride with Andrea Fopani in Jim Essek. Welcome back.

It's been great and a little bit overwhelming. I didn't expect, Jim told me at the beginning

that people would be listening, but I didn't expect this many people to really pay attention

to what we're doing and what we're saying. It's been, like I said, a little bit overwhelming.

We've had a lot of people reaching out to us

and thanking us for what we're doing and and I just wanted to thank you guys for listening and tuning

in and being supportive we're learning like I said this is going to be our sixth one I believe and

I think we're getting a little bit better every time thanks for being patient there it's been a lot

of fun I think it's going to keep getting better. Anyway, just from the bottom of our hearts,

I just wanted to say thank you because without you guys listening,

we wouldn't be already where we are.

We're climbing the charts a little bit on iTunes and all the podcast sites.

So it's been fun and it's been really rewarding.

Obviously, what I thought, which was the need of knowledge out there and people talking

about our industry is true and I'm excited to go forward.

So thank you.

Okay, Andrea, I wanted to bring up a subject that was kind of highlighted on Facebook.

Some of the people were talking about how you and Bob were talking about taking money out of the lower levels or not

paying as deep. You know, like it, well, I know you guys were talking about the futurity. I wasn't

sure if the conversation on Facebook was about the futurity. They might have been talking about

all events, but I know where they're coming from. My wife and I are small breeders. She shows as a non-pro. We have no help. We have close to

45 horses and we do everything. And we don't even have stall cleaners. It's just the two of us.
