0:07.0	The Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of A Long for the Ride.
0:33.1	I'm Andrea, your host. I've got Toot with me as always.
0:36.0	Today I want to bring you a conversation
0:38.1	that I've had with a great cutting horse trainer and showman, Lloyd Cox, from Marietta, Oklahoma.
0:43.5	Lloyd has had an amazing career. Just in 2001, this year, it reached the $10 million mark,
