Thanks VS Trainers Needed for Wyoming Extreme Mustang Makeover $6,000 estimated purse offered August 14-15 Wyoming is known for its “tougher than nails” cowboys and cowgirls and they’ll have a chance to prove it when they become one of 30 trainers being accepted to take on the challenge of training a wild horse during the Wyoming Extreme Mustang Makeover held during the State Fair August 14-5 in Douglas. The Extreme Mustang Makeover, the exclusive production of the Mustang Heritage Foundation (MHF), provides horsemen with an opportunity to receive and train a wild Mustang for a period of approximately 100 days and then compete for cash prizes, as well as commission on any adoption fees generated during oral bidding adoption. The deadline to apply has been extended to April 8. Applications and complete competition rules are available at www.extreme- mustangmakeover.com or by calling 512-358-6382. “The 2008 event in Wyoming was truly outstanding and we very much appreciated the large crowds who came out to see what these beautiful animals have to offer,” said MHF Executive Director Patti Colbert. “Our slogan this year is ‘Dare to be Challenged, Dare to be Changed’ and that is really true of the experience our trainers have when taking on a wild horse to train. Yes, it is challenging but so many of shared with us how training a wild horse changed their whole perspective and respect for training a horse.” During competition, trainers are evaluated on the body condition of their American Mustangs, as well as their ability to handle the horse “in hand” through a series of maneuvers which include picking up the horse’s feet, maneuvering it through ob- stacles and loading it into a trailer. Following the “in hand” course, trainers will mount their animals and complete a “horse course” that will include a series of obstacles, with cattle work optional, and require the trainer to demonstrate the level of competency the horse as accomplished. Three skilled horsemen will judge the competition. The public will be invited to participate in adopting one of the Extreme Mustang Makeover competition animals on August 15. Trainers will also receive a 20 percent commission on horses adopted for $200 or more, as well as $500 reimbursement for travel costs. The Mustang Heritage Foundation (MHF), in partnership with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), created the Extreme Mustang Makeover event to highlight the recognized value of mustangs through a national training competition. The purpose of the Mustang competition series is to showcase the beauty, versatility, and trainability of these rugged horses that roam freely on public lands throughout the West, where they are protected by the BLM under Federal law. One hundred percent of the horses placed for adoption at through Extreme Mustang Makeover events have been adopted. The Foundation plans to place another 1,000 horses for adoption in 2009, having placed in excess of that number since the beginning of the Extreme Mustang Makeover in September 2007. Since it’s creation, an estimated 100,000 fans have filled the stands and walked the barns of events held across the U.S. and fans will have even more chances in 2009 as the Foundation will hold 10 events from Oregon to Florida. |
