CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Jaycee Polasek is gearing up for her first big ride as a Texas Trail Rider!
She spoke with us LIVE on First Edition about how she and her Blue Roan horse, 'Blue,' plan to get through the stretch to San Antonio.
Polasek was just voted Queen of the Trail. Her father, Jake Polasek, the Chuck Wagon Chairman spent the morning helping her get ready for the long ride.
We caught up with the duo this morning on First Edition right before they kicked off their horseback journey. When asked what Jack, who has been a part of the Trail Ride for years, was most looking forward to, he answered, simply, "I'm just looking to watch my daughter have a good time. That's... that's all I'm here for."
Both Jaycee and Jack were busy preparing breakfast tacos for the Trail Riders before they set out on the road. You can see them in that LIVE interview below.
