We caught up with Caroline Carman to talk about her standout pair, Big Chungus and Ice Man, and what made this season unforgettable.


Tell us a little bit about your champion:
Berk – Big Chungus: Big Chungus was a very cool show barrow. It has always been a goal of mine to win a national show, and to do it with him was awesome! I had never had a Berk barrow before, and for him to turn out as a player was so special.

Light Cross – Ice Man: Ice Man was a very special show barrow and has been my favorite since day one. No one believed he was good enough to beat the Dark Crosses but me, and to be fortunate enough to do it was unforgettable. I knew he would pull through when no one else did! He will always be my favorite.

Who is somebody that helped you achieve this win?
My family, Blake Danner, and Team Danner!

What was the most challenging homework you had to make up?
Definitely algebra and English!

What was a challenge you had to overcome with your champion or at the show?
Perry – Berk: Trying to beat all the breed winners of Team Purebred at one of the largest national shows.

Dixie – Light Cross: Trying to beat the Dark Crosses!

What’s your go-to snack in the snack tub?
Goldfish, Fruit By The Foot, and spicy dill pickle chips!
