Cade was very excited about her win on her horse, Reytheon, and commented it really meant a lot to her because it was her first big win on “Rey.” Cade is 13 years old and in the seventh grade. She said Rey is a great horse and that her favorite thing about him is “his hillbilly tooth that always sticks out.” Cade wanted to say thank you to her family for all of their help and support.
