I am pleased to announce that in April 2008 we made it to the Challenge with Josie. We placed 33 out of 53 trainers and can definatly say "been there done that". Josie was adopted by Rhonda Cory and Family from Wisconsin after the challenge. They are riding and enjoying her now as a family horse. It was a lot of hard work, dedication and there is one less Mustang running wild and fighting for food. She now has a home! Many thank yous to my loyal husband Scott for supporting and allowing me to have this great adventure.

Dena Plendl from Le Mars, Iowa has been selected to participate in the Midwest Mustang Challenge. Modeled after the Extreme Mustang Makover in Ft. Worth, Texas, the 2008 Midwest Mustang Challenge has invited horse trainers from all over the country to train Wild Nevada Mustangs and compete for more than $12,000 in prize money. Trainers and their Mustangs will be competing at one of the the most prestigious horse events in the country.
Sixty Wild Nevada Mustangs were delivered into the hands of their 60 selected trainers January 9-12, 2008 in Ewing, Illinois. Trainers are working with their Mustangs for 100 days culminating in a competition at one of the largest horse fairs in United States - The Midwest Horse Fair, April 18-20, 2008 in Madison, Wisconsin. Following the competition, the trained Mustangs will be available for adoption through public bid on Sunday, April 20th at the Midwest Horse Fair. |

The Midwest Mustang Challenge, sponsored by the Mustang Heritage Foundation in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), was created to highlight the recognized value of the Mustangs through a national training competition. The public has the unique opportunity of seeing the results of wild horses that become trained mounts during the competition. After the competition, the public is invited to participate in a competative bidding process to adopt one of these treasured animals. |
