\f0\fs24 \cf0 >> DARLEY NEWMAN: We're meeting up with a very special rider, who participates
in the sport of eventing herself and has been attending the Rolex as a spectator for over
25 years, Kentucky's First Lady Jane Beshear.\ >> DARLEY NEWMAN: The horses and riders here
have been amazing. Now what does it take to get to this level?\
>> JANE BESHEAR: Lots and lots of time. Lots and lots of practice. Both of these- both
the horse and the rider are athletes here and um, as we say, tremendous heart. That\'92s
the main thing. Horse has got to have heart to do this. \
>> DARLEY NEWMAN: So I\'92ve been hopping around today and I\'92m going to continue
doing that. Is there a jump I really look out for or some- one that you really- gets
you going?\ >> JANE BESHEAR: Well, I think that most people
that come want to see the water jumps. One of the water jumps they do what I call the
in and out when they go through the water they have to go up a mound, jump a house,
come out, jump up a ledge, a mound, and- and go off. And so the horse has got to be able
to hit those jumps just right in the right stride, they\'92ve got to be brave enough
that the water doesn\'92t bother them. Any of the really technical jumps people want
to watch because many of these people are horse- you know they- they do this sport or
some type of sport and they- they understand what it takes for these horses to be able
to do this. And I think every time they go out they have their heart in their throat
to begin with but it\'92s- it\'92s such an exhilarating sport that once you get started
on this course and it\'92s just you and this horse together as you\'92re galloping toward
these jumps and everything, and you know, you- and you\'92ll hear the riders pet the
horses and love on their horses, cheering them on, and that\'92s what makes this so
much fun. \'91Cuz it is a team.\ >> DARLEY NEWMAN: Well I\'92m going to head
over to that water jump now.\ >> JANE BESHEAR: And you will love it.\
>> DARLEY NEWMAN: I want to see some splashing around.\
>> JANE BESHEAR: And you will hear the cheers as they go, so.\
