What goes on in the mind of a champion? Well, judging by the responses from the champions crowned at the 2013 Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show, everyone is different. It seems that for some competitors, like reining and tie-down world champions James Michael Glenn Phillips and Spencer Bramble, slowing down and taking everything in stride is the key to success. For others, such as showmanship and pole bending world champions Rebecca Anderson and Payton Carnahan, cranking your performance up to the max is the ticket.
