Calvin Borel was unseated during the post parade. He said, "She was pretty keyed up. She went to duck away. The pony guy did a good job of turning her loose. When the fans hollered real loud, it just scared her. I can't blame her. When a crowd hollers all at one time, it kind of surprised her. It took me by surprise."
