0:22.1	going to bring to you obviously we're at the end of March and we're living in
0:26.0	some crazy times all over the world I think we're all kind of watching the news
0:30.5	daily or many times the other day to see what's going on and And this coronavirus has really messed things up for everybody.
0:39.9	And like I say, we're at the end of March and we haven't really gone to a horse show yet this year.
0:45.2	I got lucky that I went to the Sun Circuit here in Scottsville.

1:52.3	through some really rough times right now and I hope things get better soon. But, you know, even here in the
1:57.4	States, I know that us as horse trainers, we're just going through our daily routine.
